After much discussion we decided to see if we could get a campground in the Long Beach area as a spot for that get together. So instead of going to the Oregon coast which is our usual practice we headed for the Long Beach Peninsula.
We got a spot at the Cape Disappointment State Park. It was a wonderful location right on the ocean. In fact we could watch the waves break as we ate our breakfast. Ken was in his glory and he played in the waves all three days.
One evening we had a wiener roast, no marshmallows on board :-( .
While there we saw something we had never seen before. There was a gentleman there with a portable sluice set up and he was looking for gold. He used a battery and sea water and he dug down a foot or so below the level of the beach. He was running black sand through and he was actually getting very fine specks of gold. Amazing.
We checked out RV parks and local attractions and eating establishments and candy shops and bakeries in Ilwaco, and Long Beach and Astoria.
We were very successful and so the next get together for this group will be in Long Beach, WA. The dates are from June 24 to June 29.
Can't wait.
On Thursday morning we left Cape Disappointment and headed for Abbotsford. We crossed the border at 4:00pm.
We had been gone over 11 weeks and we had traveled 20,103 Kilometers.
It was an amazing memorable trip and I hope you enjoyed traveling along with us.
Till next blog the end of January. We will be in the Caribbean this time.
Yeah!!
