Okay, I am ready to give it a try! First two pictures are of our campground in Gearhart, near Seaside. The owner was actually a nice guy, and except for the cranky woman at the front desk and the really loud road noise, it turned out to be a decent park. However, Seaside and Astoria, Cannon Beach and the area are forever off our list of places to go--too much traffic! I know, most of them are tourists!
This is a view from our dining room table at the RV park in Silverton (near Salem), Silver Spur, on the morning we arrived. The rates are more than we expected (they no longer accept the Passport rate in August), but it is relatively quiet and it is nice. Free root beer floats on Friday! Also, we like that it is pretty easy to get to our friends in Salem.
Cary got a kick out of the attachment on this motor home!
One of our Friday yard sales in Silverton.
Stay tuned for more explanation of Saturday's visit to World of Speed in Wilsonville.
This was the view out our window this morning; smoke from one or more of the many fires burning in Oregon blew into Silverton today.
We began the day by driving to Wilsonville, north of here, to see the World of Speed Racing Museum.
I guess most of the pictures are pretty self-explanatory. This is a museum dedicated to racing.
Elkhart Lake is in Wisconsin; we camped near there many years ago.
Because it is a Bentley...
One of the guides told me it was going to go back to its owner in Seattle soon.
The display on the wall moved, with a history.
A 1948 Cadillac, one of my favorites,, very classy.
Isn't that a great little TV? The story on it was all about Bonneville racing.
A really cute car!
These reminded me of when we toured the Indy museum.
Even racing boats were on display.
Music sprang up around the racing or car theme by decade; a couple of the radios or juke boxes were playing some of the songs. Poster advertised the "B" movies in the same genre.
Smoke doesn't appear much different than the fog I photographed a few weeks ago, but believe me, the effects on our bodies is way different! I took these on our way to Ginger's and Mark's for supper.
Mark fixed a yummy chicken recipe which we had with a baked potato and salad. I took a strawberry cheesecake for dessert.
Until another year, thanks, Ginger and Mark, for the hospitality!
You can't tell, but the sun was bright red through the smoke in my rear view mirror as we headed back to the RV park.
