Another grueling day behind the wheel! I'm kinda gettin used to these 1/2 hour drive days, as we move around the Central Oregon coastal area. Yesterday, after one day at the Tillamook Elks RV Park, we relocated to the Thousand Trails Park near Pacific City.
As members of the Thousand Trails (TT) system, we've learned that the ideal time to arrive at a TT park is between 10 and 11am. The reason for checking in early is that you get to pick your own site from whatever is available. By 11am, most folks that are departing have left, (checkout is noon), and that's when the maximum number of open sites are there for the picking. Even though check in is also supposed to be noon, we've never had a park tell us to wait.
So it was yesterday, as we showed up at Pacific City around 10:30am. One of the difficulties at the Pacific City TT, is that it's heavily treed, and finding an open site where the satellite antenna will lock onto the satellite, can be problematic. Fortunately, we found 2 sites right across from each other, and even though Nancy had to move her rig a little bit, we both have TV for the next few days. Our Sprint data device doesn't work here, so the WiFi at the lodge is where we'll be able to access the Internet.
If you look closely, the Pacific Ocean is in the background, and we both have a slight ocean view!
This morning, I think the girls are off to Tillamook (29 miles), something to do with quilting, spinning, weaving, or some other "girl" thing that I don't know anything about. I heard something about Nancy taking her newly purchased spinning wheel to a place in town, where they give lessons. I guess Gracie and I will just have to suffer through all of today's peace and quiet. Somehow, I think we'll make it!
