Rain, Rain, Rain

We’ve already sampled the three different styles of RV camping – upscale RV resort, State Park, and mom and pop RV park. There’s something good about each of them. Tonight we’re in a small private park near Coos Bay, OR, and we can hear the ocean from inside our home. It’s just over the dune out back. So great to walk 50 yards to the beach. Before this we were in a State Park in Newport, where we could hear sea lions from our site.

While we are surrounded by nature, the rain has really cut down on our enjoyment and close contact. It has been a deluge all week. This has given us time to sort out and organize things and to really settle into our new home. Moving from a three-bedroom house into a studio apartment on wheels is challenging, but it’s very cozy and functional.

We checked out our cable TV connection and first thing we know we are watching a report on whales in California and Pet Psychic Encounters on Animal Planet. Yes, Sonia is back with a great show, and on our first day on the road, we are watching animal communication sessions!

The Oregon Coast is beautiful and inhabited by many pinnipeds that we’ve encountered every day. Today we observed Steller and California sea lions, harbor and elephant seals all at one location.
