We've Been to Dallas

Oregon....that is. We'll get to Dallas Texas later. But today we spent the afternoon with some dear friends that just moved into their new home. They have been fulltimers in an Alpine coach for several years and finally decided to hang up the keys.

We had a lovely lunch with Mike and Charlotte followed by lots of conversation and a couple of football games on tv. Such a nice way to fritter away an afternoon. I forgot to take any pictures but we'll see them again in January. They plan on spending the winter in the south and it will be good to spend some more time with them in Quartzsite. Thanks Charlotte and Mike!

Other than that, we have pretty much just stayed in. The weather is a disaster and it sure doesn't invite sightseeing.

We did take a quick run to the Yaquina Bay State Park in Newport. There is a historic lighthouse......



and a wonderful view of the Yaquina Bay bridge that runs between Newport and South Beach. That was an exciting ride with the incredible winds we have been having.


The beaches aren't very safe for beachcombing with these storms so we are considering moving on down the road.
