A short trail takes us from rig to the beach.
We pulled in at Andersen's RV Park soon after 1 PM and did the basic set up on our rolling home in short order. On Wednesday we put out all the utilities, set up the DISH satellite antenna and mounted the Davis Vantage Vue weather station on the roof ladder. On Thursday we completed the outdoor set up process by putting up our deck and steps, putting the Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett BBQ together and getting the amateur radio antenna put in place and my station on the air.
We have previously visited Andersen's for a couple of one week long periods but will stay for two months this time. The park is essentially a very large gravel parking lot with rows of back in spaces on each side. Wide grass strips are located to the rear of each lot and the spaces are separated by narrow cedar bark filled areas. The sites are quite close together but the grass strip and area of natural vegetation at the back makes the space feel larger.

The park has all the usual amenities and the hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. All facilities are a bit long in the tooth but very clean and adequate for our needs. The park layout seems to facilitate friendly interaction between the guests and just about everyone that passes has something to say, even if to just say hello.

The weather since our arrival has been fantastic with moderate temperatures and only light wind. Partly cloudy conditions Wednesday and Yesterday gave way to clear skies today.
The wind was light enough this morning to allow me some flying time with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision quadcopter, and I took a series of photos to show a little of our home for the next two months.
Come to Daddy!

Juanita got her quilting station going today and already has two projects on the agenda. She is making a real quick baby quilt for a neighbor of her Mom in California and has started on a quilt to enter in the July 4th contest in Port Orford, Oregon. She will ship that quilt to a friend who will handle the entry.
Our little furry buddies just love the beach and surrounding area. They spend a lot of time outside, proving again that tired Beagles are good Beagles.
We will check back in with you all as soon as events justify another blog entry...................
Andersen's RV Park in Long Beach, WA
I saw a show on National Geographic and a Red Tail Hawk did not like the copter like yours coming into his territory. It attacked and caused the copter (like yours) to crash.
ReplyDeleteHave you had any birds of prey after yours?
Please be careful on the road.

Hi Rex...just the occasional hummingbird. Seriously! They are real combative little beasts when something invades their territory.
DeleteWe have a pair of bald eagles on the beach right next to us here, but I keep my distance and they keep theirs. Smart on both accounts I think!
