Awake: 6:20am Temp 44 sleep 5+37 early rain overnight @ Woodland, WA.
I talked with Ray in Ocean Park this morning about the weather forecast in his area; not good the next (3) days. Monday's forecast for Ocean Park: wind gusts up to 95 mph. I am disappointed but we will have to cancel our plans for visiting Ray this yr & try again next time we visit the Northwest.
After breakfast, Kathy searched for our next campground, somewhere near I-5 with some thing of interest to tour. We have several options but have not decided as yet.
Meanwhile, I visited the Riverfront R.V. Park office & asked if we could extend our stay for an extra (2) hrs due to our Goddaughter & family visiting us in our motorhome. The owner of the campground told me: "not a problem."
Shortly after that, our doorbell rang & I saw many happy, smiling faces outside. We gave these good people a tour like no other; they witnessed the coach expanding (all slides out) & shrinking (all slides in). Monica, Maggie, & Donavan liked the air pocket doors, seeing all the shades come down @ one time, & experiencing the BIG TV for a few minutes. They kept me busy, but were pretty controlled in their excitement, asking first if they could touch this or see that; I loved it!
Meanwhile, after Kathy toured Dean & Rochelle, they were content to just sit & have the benefit of watching the kids enjoying the bells & whistles, & the hot floor.
But wait there's more; I saved the best surprise for last: before they drove off, each person was given (4) butternuts & (4) hickory nuts from Pennsylvania to enjoy. I have never shared such a treat like this before! Now I wonder how they broke open those tough shells!
We said our goodbyes & good wishes to our Goddaughter & family & left the campground @ 2:32pm. Following I-5 south to I-205, then back to I-5 & State Rd-213 to the Silver Spur Campground in Silverton, OR, arriving @ 4:17pm.
Today's travel: 91 miles 2+02 hrs 15 gal used 6.1 mpg 44mph avg speed.
Dinner: Turkey veggie soup.
After dinner, Nick Skyped us & we briefly discussed his trip to Denver & his upcoming trip to Portland. Then Kathy had many questions regarding the use of our new Apple computer; accessing her folders, organizing photos, etc. Unfortunately, computer discussion took up most of our Skype time; all to soon our call had to end as Eriko was ready to cut Nick's hair & he had to get ready for his early morning departure tomorrow.
Evening movie: "Too Hot to Handle." We watched ½.
Lights out: 1:19am.
