Sept.19 Newport Oregon
Spent the night at the Newport Marina RV Park overlooking the marina.Rained really hard at night but the morning dawned nice and sunny. Had another Griswold episode leaving the park. I had forgotten to raise one of the trailer stabilizer jacks,much scraping and a bent jack. Couldn't loosen it so backed up slightly, the jack straightened, I was able to retract it and off we went, my dignity slightly tarnished.

We stopped at the Oregon Aquarium just outside the campground. Very nice and well done, seal, otter, puffin and many local fish displayed.

Stopped for sandwiches at a State park on the ocean and let Mickey have a good run.

Had an easy scenic drive to Florence, Checked into an RV park 5 mi. south, on the edge of the Dunes Recrational area.

Took Mickey for a hike into the dunes but the blowing sand bothered him.

Tomorrow we will drive to the Coos Bay area.
