Oregon

Greetings everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend.  My husband has been cleaning out his garage and finding all kinds of car parts leftover from past projects.  I spent Sunday afternoon listing things on Ebay.
More from our Motorhome Adventure: We left Washington State and drove to Oregon.  We spent one night at White Salmon, OR.  We stayed at the Bridge RV Park which is on the Columbia River but there was no access down to the river.  It was beautifully landscaped and immaculate park.  Internet access was good, there were full hook ups, pull throughs and laundry on site.  There is a train track that is very close and the first train goes by at 4:00AM!
We delayed leaving in the next morning so we could visit a couple of waterfalls that were nearby.  The first stop we made was at Horse Tail Falls and then we continued on to Multnomah Falls which is the second highest falls in the United States.  Below is a link to some of my shots that I posted on my Facebook page.

Next we drove West and South to Winchester Bay which is on the coast.  We met up with up our friends at the Winchester Bay RV Park which is on a bay.  This is a large RV park and it is very well maintained.  There are full hook ups, pull through sites and laundry on site.  The internet connection quality depended on what site you were in but we lucked and had a good signal.
It was quite cool (in the 60's) and foggy while we were there.  I got some cool pictures of the boats in the marina one foggy morning.  Here is a link to some of my shots:
We drove up to Coos Bay to do some shopping and had lunch at the Shark Bite restaurant.  There is a an Indian Casino called the Coquille Casino there.  There are the typical tourist shops.
The next day we drove North up the coast to Newport, OR.  There are lots of fun shops and great restaurants.  We bought at candles at he Newport Candle Company and had a fabulous seafood lunch at Local Seafood.  We then drove a little farther North to Depoe Bay for more shopping and sight seeing.  We had a great day!  Here is a link to some of my shots from that day:
Here is an article about using a tripod.  A lot of beginners wonder if they really need one or not.  Once you make the investment it opens up a whole new world of Photography techniques.
Today's Thought For The Day:
"Worry is the misuse of imagination." by Dan Zadra.  My friend, Joan Steffen, posted this on Facebook.  June Rosier Paul made this comment: "Worry is the opposite of praying."  So true!
