California or Bust



Tuesday July 15, 2008
We leave Newport Elks, but not before going inside for a tour of the lodge. I think we will be back to visit Newport soon, since we will be Condo camping in a couple of weeks close by. The main stop this morning will be the factory outlet stores in Lincoln City. Sophie loves to find a bargain. We drive on and are thinking of where to stop for the night. There is a cheese factory in Tillamook that lets people park for free in a grass area and we look at it, but then decide to drive on to Seaside. There we look at a place I have seen on the freecamping.com site. It's now $15.00 but we decide to stay. A short drive from the beach where we watch one of the better sun sets of the trip. The fog can cover the sun asw it sets but tonight is good. We walk on the famous boardwalk in Seaside and life is good. Only 15 miles from Washington.
