On the Coast

 We've stopped in Silverton, OR at Silver Spur RV Park. We made this reservation in March. They gave us the crappiest site we have had all year. The site was not level from front to back or side to side. I couldn't even get the BGE level and our site was right next to a really noisy road. We put this park on the DNGTA list (do not go to again)! We like the town though. We went to MT. Angel, a nice little Bavarian Village. Kind of like Frankenmuth.  We stopped at MT. Angel Sausage company and I went crazy. They had a meat sale!


If you can't find a sausage that you like they don't make it. A great selection of all kinds of sausage!


And right around the corner is Tiny's Tavern. A nice old time tavern. They even had Hams on tap. We also stopped at The Benedictine Brewery. The funny thing there was one of the doors had a problem with the lock. The bartender came over to help some people get out and said that one of the Monks had been trying to fix it but it still has a problem.  
We also found the Wooden Nickle a nice bar with good food. This is Sam the bartender. She got a nice Koozie.

Now we're in Newport, OR (Old Yaquina City). We found a "new to us" RV park RIGHT on the Yaquina River. This is one of the best sites we've had all year!

Having morning coffee watching some baby seals playing around right in front of us. We're going to try this place next year for a month. One of the best things about this park is the Mad Dog Country Tavern right across the street.

We hooked up with our friend Dennis. We met him here in Newport a bunch of years ago. Good to see him.

Of course the first place we go to is The World Famous Barge Inn. They have the best double Bacon Cheese Burger you can get. We have been there twice already! 

There are tuna fishing boat docks here at the park. I guess they have to go out 70 miles to get any tuna, the water has to be 64 degrees.
