We drove into the town of Saint Helens and right off found some of what we call "little shops" (Thrift stores). And one very good one too. After checking in with Jerrie and Diane we parked at the Elks lodge and rested. Then we were picked up and given a tour of the twin Bagos that Jerrie has collected and their house on the hill. I will say he has his work cut out for him with those 2 . But he just might build one good one out of the two. Then it was off for a tour of town and dinner. Very nice town and a great meal. Then it was back to Wilbur for some more good conversation. We sure like talking with good friends. To bad Jerrie didn't get a MH they could use without so much work (sorry Jerrie) then we coulkd have more friends to vacation with.

It was kind of hot weather yesterday and the Elks RV area was so quite we sleep in until after 9 AM. That was really sleeping in. And we have only been retired less than 2 weeks,lol.
This was shower day and it was noon until we got going. Parts of the Twilight movie were shot here and since Sophie and Steph have read the books and seen the movies we had to buy a book of the different things that were filmed here. So after looking in the book and touring the town we took in the local concert in the park on the river with Jerrie, Diane and Diane's mom. It was fun to listen to the music and watch the huge cargo ships go up and down the river.After some listening we went over to Diane's mom's house. Park like back yard on a creek.
During the concert in the park.
Mount St Helens in the background. We were told this is a car hauler.
