May 17-19 – South Beach OR

The last 3 days have been pretty similar. There is a huge, flat, packed sand beach across the highway from the RV park and we walked a long ways a couple of days. Huge rocks placed at the bottom of steep slopes to keep houses from sliding into the ocean are amazing. We tried to figure out how they were neatly put in place and could only imagine cranes from above before the houses were built. We took the bike to Newport again and walked along the docks where we had excellent clam chowder. We rode south to Waldport (a drizzle of rain that day) and picked Subway for lunch. Another visit to Newport & Walmart for groceries and to replace a sewer hose with pin holes. There was a lot of traffic when we started back so we followed some vehicles towards the water and had a nice scenic detour back to the highway.

We haven't met anyone in the park. A lot of the people come to fish – many with their own boats. Like neighbors who left in a noisy pickup at 4 am!! We are leaving Sunday and going to visit Barb Names in the Long Beach WA area.
