Pacific County RV Park, 144 mile jump

 

We took our time leaving Kalaloch; it was very alluring. So, we walked the beach again under bright clouds with smiling faces. We left about 11:30 heading for Ocean City SP, west of Hoquiam about 16 miles. The website looked good and it was about half way to our true destination, Cape Disappointment State Park on the north bank of the mouth of the Columbia River. We drove to the Ocean City SP, but it was basically flooded, with puddles of water in almost all campsites and covering the road in places. We discarded and thought we might get to the Cape before dark, but we needed lunch and diesel.  After we realized we would be setting up camp in the dark at the Cape, Penny fortunately spied a road sign for a county RV park!

So, we pulled in to a grassy field with some some puddles, but nothing serious. They had water and electric for $25. The site was so level we didn’t have to unhook from the truck. That’s a plus! We cooked a sirloin on the BBQ and called my mom, daughter Casey and a bunch of friends to catch up. That was fun!  

It’s good to stay connected on the road; family and friends worry when they hear bad weather reports or just wonder if you are OK.
