Oceana - Ocean City, WA July 2019

Short stay, only spent a week here.  Did have fun while we were there.  There is beach access from the park,  Len did take several walks down to the beach while we were there.

Met up with RV friends Betty and Lonnie who we had met in California a few years back.  Have seen them at other stops on our travels but always enjoy catching up with them.

Packed a lunch one day and headed for Olympia National Park.  The Hoh Rain Forest gets as much as 14 feet of rain a year.  The prevalent fog and mist contributes the equivalent of another 30 inches of rain, resulting in one of the world's lushest rain forests, hence its designation as one of the wonders of Washington State. It was a clear and sunny day. Even enjoyed visiting the local museum. Plus checking out the old homestead.

Took a trip to the fish hatchery, had stopped in on previous trips to this area, but they always seem to add something new.  They now have an automatic system that tags the fish before they are released.

Hit the local casino, senior day gives you $10 on your card plus the prime rib dinner for $9.99, so they pretty much pay for your meal.  We met up with Betty and Lonnie again so were able to visit during our meal.  Food was good and well worth the price.  One weekend the casino was doing "Wild Hog Weekend"  were told get there early because it gets crowded, NOT, very few vendors, figured we would see some vintage bikes but none there on Friday when we went.

One road trip we ended up on the Taholah Indian Reservation (Quinault), not much in the little town and pretty run down.  Stopped at Moclip beach and did some walking on the beach, windy but nice weather.

Visited the local pub, Green Lantern, for a couple of meals. Went on Friday night for the prime rib special.  Met up with Betty and Lonnie again, us gals took on the prime rib dinner while the guys went with the fish n chips.  Everyone enjoyed their meal and got to spend some more time together.  Len and I returned for Sunday breakfast as were told the biscuits and gravy were good.  Len said it was OK but he still likes my gravy better. (Thank you Len).  Think I have gotten my prime rib fix for awhile and now we are headed to the coast so will be looking for some good clam chowder and fish.

See you next time.
