Touring the Coast with Marlys and Alan

We have been touring the Oregon Coast with Marlys and Alan from Ft Collins and having a great time!! The weather was great the first day and after the 4th day, we wont talk about the days inbetween, except to say that cold, wet, windy is putting it mildly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We managed to make the most of it tho and visited the Flavel house museum, Astoria column, Maritime museum, heritage museum and several other sites in the Astoria area.

We also were highly entertained at dinner one nite on the pier when a local fisherman caught and released a very large fish, which turned out to be a Sturgeon!!

We watched him try to bring in the fish for over 30 minutes, he measured it at 6 Ft 6 inches and estimated it to be over 100pds. We took his photo then he released the fish back to the river.

This is an ongoing trip so I will be adding to the post as the trip progresses!!

Campout at Schwartz Campground - Dorena Lake

We went with a group of RV'ers to Dorena Lake Area to check out the campground.

It is a Great campground, large and open near the Row River with plenty of room between sites. Had a great time playing games, riding bikes and eating!!

The weather was still cool, sure will be nice when summer finally arrives!! We were wondering what day it was going to occur on this year so we can have a picnic!! So much for global warming in this area.

It did stay dry for most of our trip that weekend so that was nice. The photos show us playing some golf, washer board game and just being relaxed. That is what it is all about. We had a great time!!
