This park is located about 20 miles south of Tillamook very close to the pacific ocean... lovely spot really and we have always enjoyed our visits to this park. For 1 thing they have wild bunnies and deer which adds a special flavor! Then they are right across the street from a very cool beach with tide pools... their very own 'haystack rock' which they like to boast about in town.. the park is on a hill and densly wooded which adds a bit of privacy... WHEN the weather is nice, it's a great place to have campfires... this year however our timing was off and we hit a very rainy, windy time! goodness the wind and rain pelted down on us and we stayed pretty much holed up inside..ha! Left today (the 29th) and had every thing hit us from rain, wind, hail, snow and finally sunshine! Lovely.. now at Long Beach, WA until Friday!!!
All too soon it was time to be on road again and destination Washington State. We were advised to make stop in Three Forks for the wonderful deli bakery Wheat Monana. Worth the stop.. we walked out with arms full of all sorts of goodies... This is a great stop! Loved it.. all too soon back on road and did fine until about an hour west of Missoula then hit the R A I N. It has been raining steady and today (6-6-12) had warning from National Weather Station for flood warnings. Now wait a minute. You mean to tell me we made it all the way through the whole country from Florida to Washington State without any mishaps only to be warned of Floods!!! What is going on?? ha! What a crack up .. we are holed up today trying to stay dry and wrap our heads around this crazy weather. Will say we did stop in Idaho to top off fuel tanks since the State of Washington seems to be in the "gouge" mode... guess Princess Gregoire is still working to clean up deficit mess. .. oh well. They all have to do what ever they can get by with these days I guess. Meanwhile, looking forward to a day when the sun does shine and we can get out and about and enjoy. ha!
