Maverick enjoying the park nature trail
Beautiful campground

Repairing the awing

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we really hate to leave Beverly Beach. The natural beauty here is both fantastic and varied. You have beautiful sand beaches, huge waves crashing on dramatic rock landscapes, old-growth forest, and mountain streams. It is a very peaceful and soothing place to be. That said, it is time to continue on to our next adventure. McMinnville was only 1 ½ hour drive up the coast and inland. The landscape changed to pastoral and agricultural. We arrived at the Old Stone Village RV park and found it a very clean, landscaped park. We have great connectivity here which is really nice. After set up we ran into town for lunch. We ate at the Golden Valley Brewery. I know we’ve gone to lot of breweries in Oregon but they represent some of the best dining around. GVB was no exception. A great burger on a patio in 70F sunny weather. We returned to the coach for normal chores after lunch. Back at the coach I disassembled the front arm of our main awning. I knew I had broken something in Bend when I extended it into what I thought was a very flexible small tree. Once apart I discovered a belt roller had come loose inside the arm and I was able to repair it. Im not totally sure it will last long term but at least it works for now. After chores we drove through McMinnville and ended up eating at Tequila Grill Mexican Restaurant. The food was really good and kind of like our beloved Tex-Mex. We both ate way too much!
