Sometimes you get fog on the Oregon Coast.  We know the Pacific is right behind us but you can't always see it

It's all about location

SEASIDE, OR - - In choosing a campground site, it's all about location.  Sometimes, you get lucky.  This was our in site Kalaloch (WA) Campground in the Lincoln National Forest.

ON THE ROAD IN WASHINGTON

WILLAPA BAY, WA - - Since the last post we've covered a lot of miles.  And we've yet to find a place with adequate wi-fi connection to post photos - - without waiting a long, long time to see if they will actually make it to the blog.
     We've been to North Cascades National Park;  Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands; by-passed the congestion of Seattle by taking a ferry to Port Townsend where we headed off along the coastal parts of Olympic National Park.  We've had seafood, sea views and sea mist....and we're not out of Washington yet.

We have escaped

WILBUR, WA - - Finally, we have escaped West Glacier, MT, Glacier NP and our home for the past three months, Glacier Campground.  We waited until the Labor Day traffic had thinned and set our sights on the West Coast.  So, here we are in Wilbur, Wa.  Population 877 in the middle of huge wheat fields and stories of crop circles.
     We found a campground - - Country Lane Campground - - which features "RV Room Service."  You order off their menu and they will deliver your cooked meal or breakfast goodie to your door or tent flap.  We ran into another unique place a couple of years ago in Idaho where they campground owner invited us to 'go and pick yourselves some tomatoes and some corn from my garden.'  And then there was a newspaper outside in the morning.
     Wilbur got its name from Samuel Wilbur Condin, an influential individual in the late 1800's, who ran the Wild Goose Bill's Ranch nearby.  When the government and railroad wanted to get a town going where none existed, Wilbur got the call.
     It's wheat harvest time around here and we saw at least a dozen 'Big' thrasher-style machines carving a path through the wheat fields and sending up clouds of dust.
    We'll see where tomorrow takes us.

Photos from our last days

The snowplows are ready for the coming winter season.  These were 'parked' at Issac Walton Inn.

Colorful flowers always catch the eye.

Home with a view. 

WEST GLACIER, MT - - Some photos from our travels of the past few days.  Tomorrow, we head off toward the West Coast...picking out our route as we go

Over, Done, Finished

WEST GLACIER, MT - - Friday was our last day driving.  We'll probably stay at our West Glacier campground through Labor Day. The only plans we have are to head West to wander until we reach the Pacific.
