Naskowin,Oregon, April 3,2009



Just a short trip today to Naskowin, Oregan. We had a sad day as we had to put Taz (one of our dogs)down. He has been getting worse for the last couple of weeks and wasn't eating anything. We will take his ashes home to spread in the yard.

We went to Lincoln City to have supper at the Chinook Winds Casino and again leave them some money. Looking for the sun, hope we find it tomorrow.

South Jetty, Oregon, April 1,2009



Today we went on the Oregon Coast Hwy towards Florence. We passed through Prehistoric Gardens where there were lots of dinosaur statues, the Oregon Dunes, arriving at South Jetty R.V. Park where we were welcomed with rain. The first we have seen since Pilot Knob in December. Along the way the roads were lined with the Scotch broom yellow bush. It was so pretty but I know it is a curse. We went to the Three Rivers Casino for a cajiun supper and left our dollars.
