Awake: 6:50am Temp 52 sleep 6+39 drizzle & windy overnight @ Lincoln, OR @ the Chinook Winds Casino Parking lot.
Only (2) other RV’s joined us overnight in this Truck parking area. We should have kept our slides retracted last night; now I have to climb up that ladder & wipe off any standing water before bringing in (2) slides.
We leave Lincoln City @ 9:25am with windshield wipers clearing our view; and what a view it was, especially riding the ridge overlooking the Pacific Ocean before descending down close to sea level, about (5) miles before Newport….the beach & the sea were both awesome!
We arrive @ the Outdoor Resorts of America campground in Newport @ 10:15am. Sign in @ the gate & park within 500 ft of the ocean.
Today’s travel: 25 miles 1+02 time 5.4 gal used 4.6 mpg 24 mph avg speed.
Our good friends D & C let us use their campground site for a few days, otherwise we would have by-passed this beautiful place. The ocean view is so mesmerizing; just watching those big waves build up, tumble & crash is all so fascinating.
Call Dick in Goodyear, Arizona & gab for (30) min. Also give him a good report regarding his campsite & thank him & Christine for their thoughtfulness & generosity.
After that good call, I go outside & plug into his landline phone line; we will restrict ourselves to only local & calling card calls however.
Dinner: Tuna steak, pecan spinach, brown rice & a mixed salad.
Evening movie: we finish watching: “Suspect” with Cher, Dennis Quaid, Liam Neeson, John Mahoney, Philip Bosco, etc. Dedicated public defender (Cher) battles a nearly hopeless case, representing a deaf derelict accused of murder, with the unexpected help of one of her jurors (Quaid). 1987. Great performances, especially from Cher; if you can ignore the illegal implausibility’s, you’ll love it.
High travel temp=59 Lights out: 11:17pm
