ISLANDCAMPER: 2014 OREGON COAST SEPT 5

Got up pretty early and drove down to the beach. The sand is much finer than ours and I took a sample to show. Also, there was the remains of a hull of a ship wreck PETER TRUDAL We then drove to the end of the pennisula where the mouth of the Columbia hits the Ocean and it was very windy. Saw a big freighter coming thru.

We then went on to Fort Clatsop where Lewis and Clark wintered in 1805. They built the Fort and named it after the Indians of the area.It is a good replica and sitting on the original site.

We continued on toward Newport but were discouraged by the lack of Ocean views we had expected. We saw a vendor in Garbaldt selling honey. We bought some with blue berry and clover pollination. Got Expresso in same lot.

Finally started getting good views in Lincoln on thru Depo Bay. We saw a lot of whales blowing along the coast. By now all the CG's were reporting full. Thought we were in trouble again by waiting to long. We were able to find one in Newport at the Ports but have to dry camp which is fine. A lot of other campers are here also.
