Oregon Lighthouse tour 2007

This Summer my wife and I ran away. What else can I say. We put around 3000 miles on Wilbur without any real problems. We spent the best part of 7 weeks on the Oregon Coast. We would drive about 70 miles to the beach and either head North or South. There are nine lighthouses and we were able to tour most of them. Some are not open or can't be driven to. One is on an Island. Anyway here are some pictures of our outings.

Pacific City 7/18/07

I did finally agree to visit Thousand Trails for 2 nights. The free gifts made me do it and we were in the area anyway. So we drive West from Tillamook and see the very short light house at Cape Mears. Great drive but when the road sign says "secure your load" you might get a clue.

Seaside Oregon , 7/17/07

You have to stop at the cheese factory in Tillamook for the free cheese samples and ice cream. So we are on our way to Seaside and of course make stops for anything we like. This traveling without kids can really be nice, oh we do miss the kids in case they are reading this. We go shopping and look around at whatever we want to.

Tillamook Oregon, 7/16/07

We spent a week on the Oregon Coast in the condos from 7/6/07- 7/13/07. Now we came home, took care of some business and off we go again. This time we drive the 30 miles to Spirit Mountain Casino for lunch. You know my wife and I like this Vacation stuff. We head to the buffet and enjoy a long lunch only to meet friends and of course a Winnebago couple who use to have a '72 Super Chieftian once. Now they have one of those "newer" Winnebago's. We share stories, they had seen Wilbur in the parking lot and thought how clean it looks. Anyway after a good amount of time we head farther West to the Coast. This time we turn North towards Tillamook. We stop along the way to enjoy life and finaly pull into a very quiet RV place at the Tillamook Airport. Now you might think this would be noisy but we only saw 1 plane take off out of the 2 nights we spent there. OK $5.00 a night was the reason we(I) stopped but really a nice place. http://www.potb.org/rv-park.htm

Oregon Coast Day 6 - 6/29/07

Left the Casino and drove a short way to the Cooks Chasm pull out. We really fell in love with this place on the way down South. Had breakfast here and enjoyed the view. Back to Lincoln City with stops for whatever we wanted to see. You can see Wilbur in the background waiting for us.

Oregon Coast Day 5 - 6/28/07

We drove back to Florence where we checked out the old town. Filled up with gas, I don't know what I hate worse, the full holding tank or the empty gas tank... Hung around the town and took life easy before driving back (it is almost 1 mile from town to the three rivers casino) for the night.

Oregon Coast Day 4 - 6/27/07

We started the day with a full holding tank, yuck. OK so the gauge doesn't work for the holding tanks yet but when things are full you know it. So we decided to pull into the PAY RV Park. Sometimes things like a working toilet are needed and since the RV park is only 1 year old we paid end enjoyed the showers and cable TV, WIFI and all. This was Wilburs first real RV park and I think he liked it, I know my wife and I did. These pictures are of Shore Acres and Sunset Bay State Parks.
