Long Drive

We have moved again. We are in Newport, OR at the Port of Newport Marina and RV Park. It's a really nice RV park with big pull-thru sites. One of the coolest things is it has a Brewery in it! The Rouge Brewery and Distillery. 

 

 Of course we had to sample the local stuff. We had dinner at the brewery, the food was really good. I had Mac and Cheese with bacon on top and Peggy had the beer cheese soup and salad.

They have a few kegs to fill. To get to the restaurant you have to walk thru the brewery. It was a kind of cool self guided tour.

Thursday we went to the Newport Bay Front. It's an old part of the town where the fishing boats come in. There are a lot of old shops and fish markets. I was going to make crab cakes for dinner one night but the crab was $39.95 a pound. So no crab cakes for us.

 There was a bunch of sea loins in the harbor.

 They are huge and noisy. Barking like big dogs. Some are tagged for biologists to track.

This was our view from the brewery at dinner. 

Oh, the drive to get here was a ton of fun. You cannot drive up the 101 from our last stop of Bandon. On the way there is a tunnel that only has 11' clearance. Our GPS was trying to get us to turn around but we couldn't figure out why until we were 1 mile from the tunnel. So we had to go back about 20 miles to get around it. It was a 303 mile trip. That's way too long of a drive for us.

This is not the small tunnel, we could fit thru this one.

It was a little foggy on the way. The Pacific Ocean is on the left in this picture. 

The beach is pretty nice but the wind was really blowing this day and it was really COLD!

 

Live Happy and Always Go Big.
