After an early morning rain yesterday, surprisingly, the skies quickly cleared. Instead of hanging out at the motor home, as I thought we might do because of the weather, we ventured into nearby Pacific City. This is a small town on the coast with a tiny airport right in the middle of town. Very near to the town center is a state beach that we had not checked out, so we drove to the parking lot and began a short trek over the dunes to the beach. About half way to the ocean, we met two ladies who came up another trail from the parking lot. After walking in front of us for a short distance, the younger girl (20's), stopped, turned around and asked us if we were from CA? After Patty replied that we used to live in Central CA, the older lady (40's) raised her sunglasses and said "remember me, I'm Malory Barendregt". Malory (spelling?) & her family are long time Jamestown residents, and she worked in her family grocery store for years, and now owns the Jamestown Emporium on main street. Malory's daughter lives in Salem, and they had driven to the beach at exactly the same time we decided to check out this state park. What are the odds? It is indeed a small world sometimes.
Today is our last day at the Pacific City Thousand Trails. Tomorrow we drive north to the Seaside Preserve, where hopefully, our Internet connection will be a little better.
