Memorial Weekend

     The park was full with no vacancy over memorial weekend.  Let me give you some idea of how many people that is:  The park is 300 sites  total with 6-8 people per site.  That's approx. 1800 people a day.  You can 't possible guess how much toilet paper and paper towels that is.  Well it is a lot.  We had only two incidents of obnoxious behavior and only one group that got kicked out of park so not bad overall for the holiday.  We were extremely busy and had all the junior ranger stuff for kids and programs in the Amphitheatre as well.  Andrew has been working the booth at Ecola State Park which is 20 miles up the road and just as busy.  One of the rangers up there went over to Saddle mountain camp grounds to do a check and rolled the truck down embankment 60-80 feet and landed in the creek.  She wasn't hurt but truck totaled.  She was very lucky from the pictures of it.  Below are photo of Andrew the Ranger man.  So far he is doing okay and they have him in the booth.  On his days off he slept a lot so it did take a toll on him but he is hanging in there.  We move to our permanent camp site Sunday in A2 for next three months.  I will be camp host for most part but also doing programs twice a week in theatre for junior ranger stuff.  I have been collecting plastic jugs and containers and making stuff, below are a few projects napkin holders and planter boxes bird houses.

Closing Out the Year

     We are glad indeed to be at the end of 2015.  not one of our better years for sure.  We just wondered aimlessly this past year making one bad decision after another.  It seems since we had to leave Las Vegas when Andrew became sick we have been lost.  Our life was completely changed in a 6-8 month period very dramatically. It was very overwhelming for us and we had made good friendships and lasting bonds with people there in our community.  That was suppose to be our forever home.  Since leaving Vegas we have been to California, Oregon, Corpus Christie TX, Hawaii, and back to Oregon again. I am almost certain that we are home in Oregon to stay.  We may go for a few months in winter someplace but plan to stay here. We simply don't have the energy or desire to go again. At any rate we hope this next year graces us with stability and helps us to find our perfect spot here on the Oregon Coast to land.  We are looking to buy something here.  We have a couple things we are consideri

Summer Season

     Well we are off to a great summer here on the Oregon Coast! It has been a busy month for us as we moved from Ft. Stevens south to Tillamook county Park.  We have been enjoying the change and the park here, and an opportunity presented itself for us to manage another RV park close by also in Tillamook ( Wilson River RV Park ).  The park came under new ownership and he was given our names as somebody who could be his managers of the park.  We met with him last week and accepted the position.  The park has been neglected for the last year as it was being held by the bank and a property management company was overseeing the park.  Nothing a little elbow grease and few repairs can't fix.  It is a prime location for fishing and hunting as it sits right on the river, and of course there is all the attractions of the coast and Tillamook here as well.  We are excited for the challenge of this new adventure. We will miss our friends at the county park but will be close still to BBQ and

Our Plans are like Jello Sometimes it just doesn't set!

 We had a change of plans, and came to California where we decided to sell the motor home.  We didn't expect it to sell in two days time.  We arrived to San Clemente on the 1st of December and sold motor home on 3rd.  We rented an apartment in the downtown (1 block over from Main Street Del Mar) area close to the beach.  We had a great holiday with some of the family and Shawn was home also.  We are enjoying being close to family and our new great grand baby is absolutely adorable.  She is the happiest baby I've ever seen.  We have gotten all our medical appointments under way and scheduled and it feels good to be in one place settled again.  We're enjoying walking the beach everyday and all the little shops and restaurants.  Don't miss the motor home it was a lot of stress for us and after Drew's stroke was just too much to handle.  We did enjoy our trips through the summer and made good use of it.  So now we are in San Clemente for at least a year we signed a leas
