Seals and light bridge

Tham fat boys must top out at about 300lbs  and all looking for a  spot to rest after dinner
And some are lookin for a free hand outs from the restaurant up higher 
Why feed a seagull when you can feed on of these guys instead 


                                             A big pile of seal meat 

Yaquina lighthouse.                                                 USCG harbor lookout tower



                             Newport bridge Hy 101


Cool and colder, fog and foggy

Wow it's 50 cold and some fog  had the heat on almost all day yesterday and today looks like the same thing as well 
Kind of looks like the temps are cooling down some on the coast coming In to later  August  so if this is any preview of coming September I may need to think about putting a real fireplace in this camper and stock up on a cord of wood
And pick up 15.00$ a week cable from the park
We're about 6 miles from Newport center  and we're on the end of town that ain't got much down here,end ,
And yes Walmart,s on the  other end and no not this end so don,t for get your list coz it,s a long way to this end ,se 
Did not do much Monday  got the new dvd spiderman(dumb)  Can't remember the last time I was in a  movie  theater, seems you pay a lot for so little  
hit the only Walmart  tried to do the beach kite thing but way to cold,  like low 65 wind fog, with the fog made it feel that much colder out side
Don't have any plans to do today, but I will get sitting in the house fever so it's off to some place ??

2 fr 1. And Fat Seals songs

Seeing as how today is 57 an sunny and bright todays outting was to the Yaquina Head  lighthouse  
And to find whales so far so good now as Snidley whiplash would say eh,eh.  an then, along came the fog    And then the battery went south with out me, next time I'm quitting
Due to the fog  I,ve seen fog so I did not need to climb up to look at FOG,, sorry 
Now the fog was high up but low to the water it was somewhat clear so  6 gray whales came dancing right on time feeding about 200/ 300 yds  offshore 
so after that we slipped in to town for about an hour same old tourist shit different town
At least Newport has one main attraction about 45 brown fat dumb  and happy obese seals 
Doing there seal thing,, please don't ask me to mimic the seal song 45 baritone seal all at once 
All I wanted to do was screen and leave 
So It was to early to head back so it was head over to Yaquina Bay lighthouse I did a tour of the house , the light is not open to the public O well

Thank God for Overcoats BUT the suns out

Today's 54  and fog 1 more day here in Lincoln City at the Casino than off to South Beach 
(Newport Or ) for 7 days 
There's 2 old lighthouses near Newport to see there ,  
It's hard to think its mid - August and were heading south slowly, we're not looking forward to the heat 
In the southern parts after the cool temps we,ve been used to, here it seems if we get temps in the 75 range (rare) its hot for us now 
We're thinking mid to late  sept baring anything unforeseen and stupid 
This coast is to beautiful and I / we are not looking forward to leaving  it any time soon
Even if the fresh raspberries are getting slin pickings

Now staying at the Tillamook airport was super only 4 campers on 40 acres and all the raspberries 
We can eat  even after 4 days of crap no sun days it was still nice and restfull 
Now we're at 1000 trails camp grounds PC right on the coast there's 400 sites here and it,s 95% full what a bummer however you need to be a mountain goat to drive in here  one  minute your going up hill next it,s down hill and the sites are small we only have elect / water but we dumped anyway so in the long run were good for 11 days 
The town of PC is small,,  by that,, there's only 1 blinking red light in the center of town 
And it's not hard to find the cop there's only 3 
And It,s a tourist town to  boot  
One can drive on the beach here so tomorrow it kite flying time

Airport lighthouse

Last night at sundown the airport turns on there aircraft rotating beacon about 250 ft away 
And all night long it was   white   green   white.  Green   flashes in side our Rv cool we have  our own lighthouse 
Today's fog light rain low over cast  and 57 /61

And only one plane 3 trucks and 4 Rv,s  today 

                         Love my blue flame heater 
                       But no I don't run it all night  we like it cool at night to sleep 
But at 54 in the morning this heaters the cats ass to have,,,set its thermostat at about 3 and it,s 81 all day long 

Can,t Fly Junk

So  we went to the air museum. 8$ each next time I'm takeing the DW out to lunch instead 
It was a poor setup really not worth the price an a Museum go,s a 1  Rating 
This museum is in bad need of funds as most of the plane are turning in to rust, do to no one keeping 
Them up or any stop gaps to slow the decay down 
There's NO restoration on site even so there's lots of open roon but due to the high humidity factor here in the north west coast and the hangers not set up to to do this mind you this hangers was used to keep the blimps out of the wind and rain onlyit was so dark in there I could not take photos 
And even if I did there were none worth my time to take 
And as big as this hanger is 10% is for aircraft exhibits the rest is for RV storage and thats only about another 10% and the rest is open 


                   But I did have fun in the derelict train yard now as to the age of those old guys 
Let's say WAY before my time

Come fly with me

Seeing as how we cant move down to Pacific City till the 16th We moved 20 miles south to the Tillamook air port rv park at 10$ a night but with NO hookups 
But Theres a  water spigot near by and a bathroom 

This city rv park is on 40 acres next.to the airport runway so far only 1air plane and old biplane that gives tour flew by 
As of tonight there's only 6 other rv,s in here there's room for 80 here
I'm hoping it stays at 6 or  less 
With no power on site it's a good thing I have a solar panel
But our needs are small only thing I miss so far is to heat up my coffee I like my 120 sec, ZAPPER

One thing we found was a rv shop that sells Propane for 1.80 pr, gal, all the time,, and he told me he still makes money as low as that 
wow 12.25 to fill my large tank that's better then 30$ any place else 
Any other place  you pay 2.50$ pr gal, 


                                  see not a soul around 
Tillamook air Museum on the other side to the flight line  
                         That's tomorrows mission

We know in Florence sand dunes are a big deal   But here it is as well to
Here it's about 7 sq miles to ride your ATV  and I did see 2 4x4 track dodge trucks 
Looks cool and it would be nice ro ride
