June 4th

What a day, the weather is great, suns out and no rain.  I got up this morning and took the truck in for its oil change and look over, I call it the truck doctor.  They gave me a good report and said see you in another 5000 miles.  Its good when the truck comes out without a major problem.  I think next time I will need to do the read brakes.
Here is a picture of the nice wind block we have for the trailer.

 

Not a bad wind block, the wind blows out of the north 90% of the time so we are well protected.  The bad thing or maybe the good thing we are close to work.  Also the other good thing is I have a nice big shop to park my RZR in.

We are also real close to the dunes, like 100 yards away.  It is easy to go out for a short ride after a days work or on our day off.

 

We took a drive today, it is something Cyndy & I like to do when new to and area.  SO today we went to Charleston to explore the area and see what is there.

 



 First stop is always the visitors center, Cyndy likes to go into these place and find out were the neat places are and good stores to shop in.

 

 Me I like to take pictures, I found Charlie the tuna!!!!
Next stop was heading out to Sunset Bay State Park.  It is only a couple of miles out side of Charleston.  We really like exploring the Oregon coast.  As you can see in the following pictures we found some neat spots.
Our first stops was at the end of the park called Cape Arago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The view was great from this area, next we head to Simpson Reef Lookout.  We could hear the Sea Lions barking when looking out from Cape Arago.  But when we got to the lookout they were really loud.

 

They were enjoying the nice sunny day.

Here are a couple more pictures of the rocks along the coast line.  It is amazing how much the sea and mother nature works against this shore line.  It is just beautiful what mother nature gives us to look at.

 

 I can set here all day and watch the waves role in over the rocks and break up hitting the shore line.
We also found Cape Arago Lighthouse today.

 

 

 Cape Arago Lighthouse stands 100 feet above the ocean on an inlet just off Gregory Point. Light atop 44-foot high tower illuminated in 1934. Although newest in terms of service, earlier structures were built on site in 1866 and 1908, both succumbing to weather and erosion.  We are hope to see more of the lighthouse's that are along the Oregon coast this summer. 
On our way back through Charleston we stopped to try out a Restaurants in the area, we have been trying to find one that has good fish and chips, along with a good bowl of clam chowder.  Today we tried the Sea Basket, (we rate our food from 1 to 10, 10 being real good)  the chowder was a 1, the fish was a 4 and the chips were a 6.  Food was hot, service was good.  So far we have not found any clam chowder that is as good as the one I put together, but Mo's comes close.  I like to be able to at least have clams and potatoes in every spoon full, or at least one of them.  So I guess I am going to have to make up some clam chowder in the next week so I know what is good.
Tomorrow we are going on a road trip to Roseburg for a couple of things from Costco and check out a few more places.
