Back at Nehalem State Park - Qwack

I got here yesterday. It has rained and hailed, and blown (and done all those things over and over again) since I arrived. And they tell me that the weather has been fantastic for the last three weeks. Well... at least the weather down south a hundred miles had also been fantastic and I've even had the top of the Miata down during several days - comfortably.

My new digs (RV host space) is different from my January spot. It's just a bit further out and really close to trees on one side and the back. It's fine. Yesterday, when I pulled in, I noticed a really big (really pretty) and almost new Holiday Rambler motorhome parked next to me. Then a little later a mid 90's Holiday Rambler pulled in next to that one. With my Holiday Rambler being somewhat older than those, it looked like an exhibit of the evolution of Holiday Rambler motorhomes. I've yet to feel ashamed of mine because of its age. It's condition and the way I keep it up keeps me from that. Don't think I'm not looking at those other rigs without imagining myself in the drivers seat or polishing it up. Leapin' lizzards, the big one must be twice as tall and have about three times the surface area to shine. I'm ok now.

I'm still having a blast out here. All my apprehensions about being too far from friends and family - and being lonesome - have gone away. The Internet really does help keep us together and closer. The cell phone, on the other hand, just makes me poorer. I'm in, what I call, extreme roaming area down here on the Oregon Coast. With just a little bit of talking, my last cell bill was shocking. I get high roaming charges, even when someone calls ME. Fooey! So, I thank everyone who hasn't called me lately. You know who you are.

Gotta meeting in a few minutes - orientation - so I better get up and going (with my unbrella).
