Bay Center oyster boats in 'work' mode

"Retired" 

NEWPORT, WA - - The weather has turned misty since we got our new tires on the Magic Bus and headed toward Oregon.  Friday, we stopped at a favorite campground: the Willapa Bay KOA.  The nearby town, such as it is, likes to be known as "oyster capital of the world."  Not too sure about that, but there are huge piles of oyster shells near the Bay Center harbor.
     We were in luck with the KOA since it was a 'stay Friday and Saturday night is free.'  You can't complain about the price which ended up being $22 total after using some of my KOA reward points.
     Saturday, the town was holding Bay Center Day with a big yard sale, some arts and crafts booths and a lunch buffet with plenty of food and even more dessert options.  So, for $8 each, we stuffed ourselves.
     Sunday we awoke to the sound of thunder and the usual misty conditions.  We packed up and headed down the road.  Conditions didn't get much better and, by this afternoon, we had decided it was time to stay in a dry motel room.  So, after 111 consecutive nights in campgrounds, we are cozy, dry and watching NFL football.
