Oregon!

Tuesday October 30

We head out of Crescent City northbound on the 101. We soon cross the border into Oregon.  After traveling 4022 miles we pull into Turtle Rock Resort in Gold Beach.  Our home for the next 6 months.

The resort is located on Hunter Creek and stone's throw from the beach. We took the dogs for a walk along the beach and could see they were excited to have this as their  home base. We drove into the town and checked things out.  Phil bought a fishing license and spent a while getting the fishing scoop from the locals. Fishing is a very big thing here.   At the other end of town is The Rogue River, where King Salmon are still running. The Steelhead season begins January 1.

Our first night in Gold Beach brought a sample of the famous NorthWest weather. . The wind came up and driving rain pelted the RV.   Just Oregon hospitality welcoming us......

Later today we will drive back to Crescent City to meet up with Sue and Ron Orso who drove my car from NH.  Tomorrow we will begin our orientation at Turtle Rock.  After my vast experience of five nights of RV campground experience I will be on the other side of the phone working in the reservation office.  Phil will be working outside in maintenance so a trip to the raincoat-and-galoshes store is in order today.
