Great Weather on the coast

 We are in Brookings,OR in a really nice park on the Chetco river, AtRiversEdge RV Resort. We have a nice, long, pull thru site. The weather has been great. We even had to turn on the air in the RV.

The entrance to the park is not very wide. I don't think two RVs could pass and it's a 6% down hill.

The park entrance has two little pull offs if you meet anyone coming out of the park. But they aren't very big.

Peggy spotted some deer across from our site one night.


On the drive here we saw some really beautiful coast line.

Peggy gets to see it all but I need to keep my eyes on the winding, hilly road.
 
Our friends Craig and Charlie are at a different park not far away.

So Katie gets to play with her best friends, Baby and Bonnie. They just run around and have a ton of fun. It takes Katie a day of rest to recover from all the running around. 

We had dinner at a good place, Catalyst it's the name of the boat that brings in all the fish they sell. They've been fishing since 1955. I had albacore tuna fish and chips. The only other place I have had that was at The Bowpicker in Astoria, OR. 


We found a great, local brewery. Chetco Brewing Company. They had a nice tasting room with a food truck inside the building. The beer was pretty good.

Katie and I on the beach in Coos Bay. She had a lot of fun running on the beach. Our next destination is Gold Beach, OR where we are right on the beach, so we're going to have some fun there.

Long Drive

 We did a big drive across town to Bay Point Landing 10 miles. This is a brandy new park just opened last year. We have a big back in site with tons of room. I needed propane so I drove over to the propane station and a park guy met me there, filled my tank took the bill into the office and put it on our card on file. That was a great thing.


We are right on Coos Bay. It's been a little windy, 28 mph on one day, but no wind yesterday. Our site has a nice fire pit and they deliver wood to your site, just text the office and it shows up.

Katie loves the beach. She ran out into the water then she runs up to the sugar sand and rolls in it. Peggy does not go to beach with us. She would have a fit to see Katie run in the water over her head.

Just having some fun on the beach.


Before Craig and Charlie left we cooked some steaks on the BGE. Then had some Shot-Ski fun. The food was good and the shots were funny.

We had some ships go right by us at the Mill Park. Just off the sea wall from the park. This one was full of wood chips going to China to make press board.

Then the bad thing happened! The microwave oven died. I took it apart but it was not good. So we had to get a new one. Then the real fun starts INSTALLING it. 


Of course it did not go well. It only took one trip to the hardware store. Peggy helped me a lot. It took about 3 hours, but we got it.

It's just one of those things you have to fix on  these RV's. The park was great, they hauled the old one away and the big box the new one came it. I think we have to change our rating on this park to a 10.

We went to the farmers market and got a new cutting board. "I like my butt rubbed & my pork pulled"!

Congratulations to Ima B. Fan for being our 100,000 th viewer. She wins a Free BGE pint beer koozie and key chain!
