Rich...I put these on my blog just for you... Thought you would love it!!! If you scan through my blog to the posts before out trip North you will see our rig...I just talked to the people that are selling it and they are waiting for us to buy it!!!!

Could be sooner than October...I hope!!!!!!!!


 

We had so much fun on our vacation...from the recital clear through the rally...

These trips make us all the more excited to get on the road...

Just 96 days 'till October 1st and there we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the two with the silver lineing... what a promise...and OLD GLORY...Glory, what a sight!!!

 

These are couple of my sunset pics and one of Kaley Too!
 

Here we are...Kaley taking pics too...the other two are some that Kaley took of the sunset that evening!!!

 

These are some wood carvings in Long Beach, and the next pic is of some local urchins, and the last on on this page is on the bridge back to Astoria with
Saddle Back Mt. in the background!

 

This is a whale...gone along time ago!!! It is a great atrifact to look at.
This is Kaley...this time I spelled it right...... 

One of the days while we were in Astoria Kalewy, Mike and I took a drive to Long Beach, WA, just a 40 minute drive from Astoria...here are some pics we took there!

 

The cows were on up the road a piece...I told them where the bulls were but they didn't seem too interested!!! LOLOL!!!

 

We thought this boat was unique...it is moored at the marina there at the Winchester Bay, Salmon Harbor Marina. I really took it for my son tom....I'm sure he will get a big kick put of it!
This pair of ducks was irresistable...we saw them all the time...weeven had to stop for them to cross the road once!










Then ... here are the ELK...I have been told for 4 years that there are ELK in Oregon...but I have NEVER seen them...'till yesterday on our way home...we took "38" from Reedsport to HWY 5 at Sutherlin...asnd "Lo-& Behold" there they were, lots of bulls by the creek... 

We took a drive down the coast to Coos Bay...couldn't resist the bridge...it was beautiful...then there was the bridge that was making way for a fishing boat...she was opening up just for us I thibk...I didn't see a boat!!!

 

This is the Umpqua River Lighthouse...it is just above the dunes where we were watching the kids ride!

This is kind-of far away but it was a pretty sight!!! 

We were in middle of the Oregon Dunes State Recreation area...Mike and I enjoyed watching the ATVs, Quads & Sand Rails.

The Dunes are beautiful! I can't wait 'till some of my kids or grandkids get interested in this sport...it is fun to watch!

 

Then we ate, and ate, and ate...I think Dave was expecting the Spanish Armada...Man-O-Man ...did we eat...I think we made a dent in it but it took us two settings to "get-er-done". The Menu: Beef Brisket
Pulled Pork
Potato Salad
Macaroni Salad
Cole Slaw
Nice Soft Buns
Pepperocinis
Various Condiments
Little Torpedos (Mini-Eclairs)
Ant that Good Old Bailey's

Dave is really the Host with the most!!!!
