Costal Visit with the Family

 Walking around the campground after our 334-mile drive not only gave us an opportunity to wind down before we settled in for dinner but it provided a look into the history of the area. 

Wyeth Campground (Exit 51) was a CCP Camp built-in 1933 from a former Forest Service seed kiln. This history gives the area an old-school look with tight curbed turns leading to large sites with no camping amenities. It cost us $10 for the night which gave us a flat site in a quiet area.

We left Post Falls at 9:30 arrived at 3:30 pm. The drive was easy and the only thing to report was that we ran into smoke from forest fires as soon as we left Tri-Cities.

For lunch, we bought a Subway at The Dalles. Early to bed lead us to an early morning departure, our sights on Sunset Beach State Park 274 miles west.

Arriving in the early afternoon, we set the rig up and unloaded our bikes. Linda led the way and we rode south out of the campground to several of the overlooks. The sun was out and amazing. It was worth everything to watch Linda smile and enjoy the ocean she loves so much.

As we returned from our ride we ran smack dab into Kenyon, our nephew, in his truck. It was great to see him. In the next hour, the entire Sollinger family had arrived. We loaded up and drove to the ocean where we enjoyed watching the seals and the surf.

We had dinner, sat and talked, and then drifted off to bed.
