Hello everyone,
It's Friday November 6th and Mike is starting to make breakfast for us. Eggs today. When we got up the sun was trying to shine but now at 9:18 am the rain has started again. Mike and the dog went for a long walk to the beach. Mike saw what he thought was a dead seal on the beach but he didn't go close enough to check it out. We left the Olympia Campground in Tumwater WA yesterday about 10:30 am and it took some time to get here because it was very windy driving and Mike took his time. From Longview where we stopped to buy groceries and gas up (2.69 gal) it was a slow drive. By the time we got to the Astoria/Megler bridge the water was crashing over the breakwater. Earlier in the drive we'd seen a truck with a plow on front and wondered why it was driving along the ocean. Soon we found out. Another plow truck was plowing the rock and sand blown over the breakwater.
Long Beach is located on a peninsula because there is water on both sides of us. There is a transit service running up and down the peninsula that takes riders from all the way north to Aberdeen and south to Megler and Astoria. Lots of fish n chip shops and we're told the best one has all you can eat Halibut and chips for $9.95 on Friday nights. We're hoping to check it out.
We've had a few adventures since my last blog. One night we stayed in the parking lot of the Tulalip Casino. Beautiful casino. The art work and lighting were spectacular. Only trouble is there is smoking allowed. Outside in the rv parking there were mostly Canadian vehicles pulling in and then out in the morning. Only problem we had was we didn't sleep well that night due to the cold. We didn't turn on the generator because we didn't want to disturb our neighbours so we were pretty cold. I slept in my fleece pants and long sleeved shirt with my big fleece blanket on top and Mike had our large afghan on him. Oh yes, we had the dog too. Couldn't let him freeze.
When we do have electricity we use a small electric fan for heat. It warms up the trailer nicely. Mke has discovered the fridge isn't working so he's been out to try and level the moho better.
Oh and there was the matter of the cupboard door opening on one of our days out. The peanut butter flew out and broke the lid but the worse part was the olive oil. It also fell out and leaked lots of oil all over the floor. That was a handy dandy mess to clean up. But we survive and are doing quite well together. yahoo.
We're going to go out now while the weather not too bad. It's to get worse as the day goes on.
