Christmas at the coast

[Andymon]

We spent 5 fantastic days in Brookings, OR at the Beachfront RV park. The only good thing about the park is the ocean view and the tiny cafe that makes great food! Sites are ok but old. Hook-ups were a challenge as we had to run the slinky under a fence and could barely get it in the sewer hole. Had to pull farther forward than we'd hoped to in order to get the electric plugged in. Other than that and having our Coleman propane stove stolen we actually had a great time. Temps were in the low 60's during the day and high 30's to low 40's at night. Clear skies with great sun and the ocean surf was great to watch. The sheriff came by and told us that other people had had coolers and other stuff taken the night of the 26th so we weren't the only ones. Next time, put everything away and lock up everything. I'll try to post some pics in a day or two. this was our first long trip. It was about 150 miles each way. Hwy 199 has a few white knuckle turns but all in all it went well. My F250 got a solid 12.2 miles per gallon and I was very happy with that. We were happy to have my better half's sister and husband next to us. Great dinners together and a fair amount of excellent wine made for a very memorable holiday. Happy New Year to all you Keystone Campers!!

Glad you had a good trip. Hate your stove got stolen. Will the park replace it or you will?

Park won't do anything so we will replace it. Glad the perps missed the storage bag and the griddle.
