West Shores RV Jan. 27th

 After spending five days at the Truckhaven BLM it was time for a Passport America so we could dump, fill and do laundry. Pat always take her picker uppers and looks after any trash around the campsite. This time she found a wig, two tone black and white. Good find ha ha. 

From our site here we have a nice view of the Salton Sea and we finally got to see something fly.

 
This is a mecca for motorized parasailers. There is a big meet here in a couple of weeks. We have been watching them most of the afternoon.


They have a dedicated runway between the RV Park and the water, although the water is a long way off.
One reason they like flying here is the way the wind acts. As it comes down the Salton Sea, it smooths out and is very stable. Even in a stiff breeze, they don't get bounced around a lot.

There is a restaurant on site and Chicken Fried Steak was the special last night, it was delicious. Pat had Prime Rib French Dip, also good and not too expensive. 

The weather today has been fabulous, 10C last night and 18C today, sunny with light breeze. 

Move tomorrow, east or west, we will have to flip a coin.

New Years Jan 1st 2023

 Finally some sun. Happy New Year, the photo was yesterday, today is just as nice. This space was open, so we decided to stay for another day and enjoy the sun.  Backing up a bit, when we arrived at Bullards Beach there were some wild turkeys in the park. Looked for them the rest of our stay but didn't see them. Sure enough, they were by the exit on our way out. It was off and on rain for the drive to Harris Beach. I did brave the elements and took a couple of pictures on our way down. As you can see, a little dark and gloomy and slightly wet.   New Years eve day weather was spectacular, we took a walk across the road to a view point, found a cache and I took these photos. Then we drove back up the coast a few miles and checked out Samuel H Boardman State Scenic Corridor. It is a 15 mile state park stretching along the waterfront north of Brookings. After stopping at a few scenic overlooks, we drove down to Whaleshead Park. When the waves hit the rock, they gush back to f...

 After staying in Seaquest St Pk. for two nights, we got caught up on food etc. Then off too Cape Disappointment St. Pk. Sun the first night here. Just been hanging out with Ryan and family, we have managed to have a couple of campfires. Pouring rain today, so we took a drive to Tillamook, now are stocked up with cheese. I am sitting in the truck, with the rain coming down, while Pat is in Fred Meyers. Slow cell, but at least there is some. Pat made this Xmas tree and I made the ornaments. We are now set for Xmas. I will try to update before Xmas.

Needles Jan 9th

 The drive from Red Rock Canyon is about three hours, just about right, these days I like the shorted travel times. It has taken a long time to learn to slow down and take our time. As there is not much for shopping around Red Rock, we needed some supplies. We headed down to Lake Havasu to check out our spot for the balloon festival and stop at Walmart. The balloons will be at the State Park, so we drove up to the gate and asked if we could go in and check out where we were going to park. Sure but it would cost us $15.00 to enter the grounds. No thanks, we will figure it out when the time comes.  Nice to see the sun and Palm trees. Fuel in California is around $6.99 a gallon, I paid $4.339 in Arizona. Not sure why people go to the stations here, as cheaper fuel is just across the river.  Next day, Jan 11th. we drove up to Oatman, home of the wild Burrows. Cute touristy little town, was a beautiful day to walk around and check everything out. One of the shop keepers gave P...
