Oregons beautiful coast

After leaving Cannon Beach we headed for Lincoln City. You guessed it, there was an Indian Casino there where you could park your RV for free. It was right on the Ocean and even from where we had to park you could see and hear the ocean. This Casino was really big one of the biggest I've seen, but it wasn't very nice to us. We played a little this night and neither of us won. We went back to the RV and watched a movie and played around on the computer, as most of Indian Casinos also have free wifi. I would say this states coast line is more scenic than Washingtons, and wonderful beaches. Of course none beat Hawaiis in my opinion, but they are pretty nice.

The next day we headed to Coos Bay. No trip down the Oregon coast is complete without stopping at Tillamook at the cheese plant there for an ice cream cone, so we did. We got a little cheese to snack on too. The Indian casino there was a little nicer to us. We signed up for their players card and since it was Brents birthday month they gave him a free travel clock, plus they gave us each a key chain with their name on it of course, plus$100 went into the gas fund. It was on the bay but where it was was where all the barges came in so it wasn't very pretty, so no pics here. I worked on my sea glass jewlery, I'm almost done so I'll be sending soon. Hope you all like it. I'll come up with something for the boys too but not jewlery.
From Coos Bay we headed for Brookings, which is a pretty place. It rained all night last night and most of the drive to Brookings so it was kind of misty, but the pictures didn't turn out too bad. This is the big tall rocks off the shore of Harris State Park. The storm had the ocean really wild and the waves were splashing over the rocks with no effort. It reminded me of the North shore of Maui.

There was a big hole through this rock where the surf could go out the back side toward the beach.
A big wave crashing over one of the rocks.
We walked down a path that could lead to the beach but the tide was high and the waves crashing that this is as far as we got and just stood in awe of them and watched for awhile.
Well now we on to California tomorrow. We're only about 10 miles from the border here. So later.

I'm a wife and been married for 31 years. I'm a mom of 6 kids 4 boys and two girls and a grandma to 11, grandkids. My favorite thing in the whole wide world is to spend time with them. We have a monthly family dinners where we all get together and have dinner. We take turns whose house it's at and then if it's at your house you fix the main dish and everyone else brings what they are assigned to bring. We have a wheel that tells us what we bring. You turn it to the one whose house it's at and then it shows you what you are to bring. It works great and I look forward to it very much. We also take a family trip, usually camping somewhere. It's always great fun. I'm a huge Utah JAZZ fan and like going to and watching the games. I like traveling and making jewelry and doing crafts.
