Two days without constant rain!!

Yesterday late morning it cleared up and the sun actually came out!  We decided we'd better get in some outside activity while we had a chance.  Besides, Jenny was itching to go for a long walk.  She has been restless with all of this rain.  There are several places nearby to access the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area so we headed out.  We went to Siltcoos Beach Access Road a couple of miles south of our RV Park.  Fortunately, it's all National Recreation so Mike's "old fart card" works perfectly well here!  We drove out to the entrance to the dunes and spoke with the volunteers about where we could go with our dog.  As long as she is leashed she can go pretty much anywhere.  I looked at the sand dune we would have to cross to get to the beach and decided we could do that another day when we had our boots on.  That's a LOT of sand!!  We drove back midway to the highway and hiked a trail near one of the lagoons.  It was beautiful, green, dark and full of mosquitos!

While we were waiting at the stop sign to get back on Highway 101 and go back to the park we noticed a motor home approaching from the south.  We knew George and Joann were headed this way today because they have reservations at the Honeyman State Park just up the highway from us.  As the motor home passed us we realized it was them.  I pulled out behind them and phoned George to let him know we were right behind him!  Too funny!  They got behind us as we came into Crescent City, CA and now here we were behind them outside of Florence, Oregon!  We met up with them later for drinks at their site in the State park and then went out to dinner.  Mike and I finally had dungeness crab.  It was ok, not as sweet as king crab and not as tasty as the crab we had in Florida but it was still good.  

Here is a pic of the Old Town Harbor in Florence outside of the restaurant.  Blue sky!!  :)

Today began with sunshine so we went for a hike on the beach, this time we were prepared for all of that sand and the wind from the water.  The hill up to the top of the dune may not look like much but it was tough!  Walking through all that sand is work!!  

As soon as we got to the beach Jenny decided she needed to poop.  Sigh.  Mikey bagged it and made the climb back over the dune to the trash can and back while I waited with Jenny on the beach.  When he returned we walked north about a mile then turned around and came back.  The picture with Mike is him checking how far we walked on the iPhone.  Love that phone!!  

It's supposed to rain tomorrow and Friday so we'll find activities to do inside.  The weekend is supposed to be fairly clear which is good since we'll be traveling again.  

See ya!
