A MOVE UP THE COAST

We are now parked at the Whalers Rest Thousand Trails Preserve, about 5 miles south of Newport, OR. It was only about an hours drive from Florence, but incredibly scenic, as Hwy 101 meanders along next to the Pacific Ocean. Our Sprint wireless connection is very poor here, so it's doubtful that I will be able to post many photos in the next few days. We leave on the 31st, and have an appointment at Coach Care in Coburg on the 1st, for some routine maintenance on the motor home.

My story on Ray Robinson's railroad has picked up a little steam. One of the few blogs that I read religiously is by Nick Russell, editor of the gypsy journal RV monthly newspaper, which we are longtime subscribers. At www.gypsyjournal.net/blog , Nick references my blog post on the Robinson's battle with Lane County, OR. At this point, it's a long shot, but perhaps, if enough people get involved, maybe the County will get back to a common sense approach.

On the list today is to find a Wells Fargo Bank in Newport. Our mail caught up with us here, and there was a reimbursement check from our Monaco Extended Care Warranty. Before we left Havasu, we had our power water hose reel & water pump replaced. This is our second stay here at Whalers Rest, and so in the coming days, we will be searching for some new adventures on this part of the central Oregon Coast.
