Travel Day Coos Bay to Lincoln City 9/14/12

Travel days are tedious, I have decided.  George, Bev, Steve, Sue Ed and I started out first from Coos Bay.  It was only about 130 miles to Lincoln City but Highway 101 North is narrow and at times looking over the cliffs to the ocean.  I am so glad I did not volunteer to drive this stretch because I do not think I could have done it.  The scenery is awesome, the ocean is amazing but it took over three hours.  Bob and Oneta had to stop in Coos Bay for a water heater repair, which unfortunately when they got here to Lincoln City found out the heater was NOT repaired.  Ron and Evelyn made a reservation at another park in Depot City so they were going to spend Friday night there.   Dave, April, Len, Paula, Ed and Dorothy were about an hour behind us.  We are at Premiere RV Park in Lincoln City.

We had a few errands to run after we got settled in.  I was waiting for Trish and Tom from Salem to join us and the arrived late afternoon.  Trish and I have been friends for many years and whenever we come to Oregon we try to meet up with them.  They are staying here with us until Sunday.  

Gary and Marilyn who were to be on this trip and always cook a great spaghetti dinner had to cancel but they came through with the amazing spaghetti sauce.  Dorothy took on the spaghetti project and we had a fine meal of spaghetti and meatballs....  lots of meatballs, salad, french bread and dessert.  I can't say it enough, we eat very well on these trips.  A big thanks for Dorothy to carry on and she had Steve doing kitchen duty also.  

We ended the evening with some of us playing farkle, a fun dice game and some were playing canasta. We are expecting sun tomorrow and some wind.  Some of our group are going to Salem for the day and some of us are touring around the local area... 

So until next time......
