Made It Back To Lincoln City.............

and sitting in Devil's Lake State Park (that's State Park Larry) with full hookups. Had little Honda generator running most of the time at Sand Lake; but, not the same as having full hook-ups.

We started off at a little wayside near the mouth of the "D" River in Lincoln City.......depending on who you want to believe, the "D" River is the shortest river in the U.S. Couldn't resist taking a picture of the Redneck Trailer or the "D" River.........this is the widest I've ever seen the river at the mouth.

Finally got to Sand Lake on Thursday and "B" and I went out onto the dunes..........I had aired up the tires when we left Corning and didn't air them down before we headed to the dunes (last picture) so I managed to not make it up the first big hill, rear wheels were spinning so I tried to turn back down the hill.............it didn't work and I managed to bury the Rhino. Four or five guys weighted down the left front of the Rhino so I was able to back out...........some idiot looked at me and suggested that I remove the flag and just roll the Rhino over down the hill!! And to think that guy is probably able to reproduce!

Cassidy and Trace took turns driving their little Polaris and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Trace has the heavier foot and isn't smart enough to slow down..........still the sand was wet and the little RZR couldn't make it up the big hill. It did OK just about everywhere else it went though. Doug added an exhaust pipe and air intake system so that helped out in the power department............now we gotta find a little more traction before we head to Coos Bay. Weather was great at the beach and it finally started raining last night and this morning.........that was OK 'cause everyone was heading home anyway.

Larry and Audrey showed up in Lincoln City about 1300 and we pulled in sometime after 1400. As it turns out there are TWO Devil's Lake RV parks and Larry and Audrey ended in the other one. No problem..........it's only a couple of miles away. Will probably try to do some geocaching tomorrow if the sun is shining, and it's supposed to be. All us Arizona people got together and had Pizza at the little pizza shack........it was pretty good pizza. Wayne and Phyllis headed for the barn and L & A and B and myself headed to the casino. Think Larry did OK; but, I managed to pay an outrageous price for a "free pepsi".

Well, got my MTV going and Becky has her internet so we're all set for the next two days. Heading for Vancouver on Wednesday and Larry and Audrey will be here until then too.

More later. W&B
