OCEAN SHORES

We arrived at our last Thousand Trails Park on the WA coast near Ocean Shores yesterday. When we leave here in a little less than a week, our journey will be mostly in an easterly direction until we get to the east coast. In all of our travels over the years, this was the second time we have run across this sign. The first time, for some twisted reason, it immediately tickled our funny bone. Yesterday, it wasn't so humorous, but, you have to admit, you don't see this public warning sign very often.
The Oceana Thousand Trails Preserve is a short walk from the beach, so Patty will have one last opportunity to get her ocean fix, before we head inland. Shortly after we arrived, a small black tail deer meandered by the motor home, and Sami happened to catch a glimpse. Naturally, she went bananas, so I took her out to where the deer had walked. As soon as she caught the scent, you could hear the howls and barking a mile away. This never lasts very long, but for me, it's fun to watch her natural instincts kick into high gear.
Today, we're going to check out Ocean Shores, which is about 4-5 miles south of where we are parked. This is another north western beach playground area, and I suspect, will be similar to Seaside, where we were a few days ago.
