Today we packed up and headed to the town of Cannon Beach. We have reserved the RV Resort at Cannon Beach for four nights. It was about a 2 hour drive, the first half of which was pretty heavy traffic through small communities South of Portland. Once we hit the highway West it was pretty smooth driving. The RV park is another well maintained park with beautiful, large trees throughout. The downside is that means no satellite again. Thank goodness for DVR. We do have decent Verizon/Internet though. This park has both Diesel and Propane sales on site. I am excited because finding Big-Rig accessible Diesel on the travel days can sometimes be a challenge, especially in California and Oregon. The prices were decent as well.
After a quick coach setup we went in search of lunch. Just a mile or so away we drove to the beach and there was a nice looking restaurant with full coast views. Sold! The cafe is Mo’s which is a chain in Newport all the way up the coast to Astoria. We saw it in Newport but didn’t give it a try. We had fish and chips and the food, service, and view were all great. Mo’s has a really nice beach vibe. After lunch we walked the coast. This part of the coast has the much photographed Haystack rock formations. You have probably seen them if you have seen pictures of the Oregon coast. We had a nice walk but we kept Maverick on the leash as he wants to eat the dried outer skin(?) of a jelly fish variety that washes up in great numbers all along this section of coast. He ate some in Newport and vomited the next two nights. We aren’t eager for a repeat. Next we drove the coast all the way past Astoria. Very cool! Washington (state) is very scenic on the other side of the Columbia river. We will see more of Washington next week!
Once back at the park we checked out the indoor pool and spa. They both seemed pretty warm so we came right back and tried them out. The pool wasn’t quite a warm as it originally seemed but the spa was great. We had it all to ourselves.
