Art and Margaret came with us in their RV to the Oregon Coast. Nice sunny days for the beach. Before we got into town two of the leaf springs on the trailer broke. We blocked the axle up with pieces of wood. They replaced all 4 springs with heavier ones but kept the trailer overnight and plugged it in for us to stay the night at the shop.
We toured a working lighthouse.
Here's the stairway looking down. The light is all electric now but in the old days it was an oil fired light. The prisms are still in use, imported from Paris around 1900.
We went to old town Newport, by the sea.
This seafood restaurant was recommended to us. Rachael Raye featured it on one of her shows.
Roy had short ribs and prawns. It was good but he had to get past the prawns with their heads on with shell and legs.
Carol had the fish and chips, which was excellent. Nice crisp fried without dough and greasy oil.
Here she is trying her first taste of crab cake.
Art and Margaret headed back home (north) and we headed east to Bend. Over the pass we hit snow coming down in big feather flakes. We stayed at Thousand Trails and then in the morning met our caravan at a truck stop restaurant. After a good breakfast we all headed south to Lakeview.
This is where they caught Lorna cheating.
The men could not figure out how to light the fire without kindling.
Carol was in a skit with some other ladies and got her words out.
Of course we are in the US so the men had to stop beside the road and pull out their revolvers. This was the first time Roy shot a large caliber automatic hand gun. A little different than a rifle.
Carol and Lorna dressed up in wigs and took off their glasses to see if they were recognizable. After they took their glasses off they were not recognizable to each other. Roy was tracing family trees and found Carol and Lorna are 3rd cousins.
