The trip odometer rolls at 1000. Our total trip length thus far is over 1200 miles. Gas pumps shut off at $100, typically resulting in a re-swipe of the credit card to finish the fill up. I don't even want to add up all of the gas receipts.
We spent two good nights at the View Crest RV Park. The middle day we took a short drive to Dry Lagoon, part of the Humboldt Lagoons State Park. The kids (all eight of us) enjoyed playing on the beach. The rocks were incredibly warm. The sand, soft. And much fun was had by all.
On day 8 we crossed back into Oregon and drove to Sunset Bay State Park, outside of Coos Bay. It was probably the best spot overall of the trip. We could walk out to the beach, which we did twice (once in the afternoon and again in the morning). A different beach than in California - in a little bay so a lot less surf. More sand and seaweed, less rocks. We saw some good sea life both times at the beach: sea anemones, crabs, etc.
The kids had even more fun playing in the sand.
Today we called another audible and changed our itinerary. Too tired of trucking (mostly tired of trying to keep the kids entertained while on the road) to make the long drive up to Astoria, OR. So we decided to stop outside Depoe Bay at the Sea and Sand RV Park for our last night before we cross back over to Portland and head home.
There might be a Del Taco stop on our way home...
