Barb - It's a rainy day today. We had to dig out the jackets and yellow rain slickers to take the dog out and put the laundry in the machines! But in 3+ weeks, this is the first day of dodging rain since we drove in it in central Nebraska. An RV has a definite advantage over tent camping on days like this! (I wouldn't be traveling for 6 or so weeks out of a tent anyway). Ike and I both didn't feel real good yesterday so we were OK to be inside for awhile. I did get to visit the local cranberry museum and bog area after lunch, which is maintained by Washington State University. The coasts of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia produce a substantial cranberry crop annually. It was neat to see exhibits of the older watering and harvesting equipment.
Ed - Yep - it rained and we did the laundry. We took a vote and I lost (my story!)so I got to go out in the rain (using the Jeep to get me there) to change the laundry from the washer to the dryer and wait for it to finish. After that we continued to watch it rain for another hour or so. When the rain quit, we drove to town and had lunch at a nice local seafood restaurant and then headed back to the RV. Barb drove back to town to visit some of the local stores while Ike and I went for a walk on the beach. By the time everyone was back to the RV, the sun was out and the temperature had changed from 65 to 75 degrees in less that two hours. This evening we visited the North Head Lighthouse and traveled around the Long Beach Peninsula to see what it looked like.
