*************************

 We actually arrived here yesterday, the 14th. It was a very short uneventful ride of less than one-hundred miles. Nothing any bigger than a two-lane undivided highway and, at times, a country road. This is a pretty good size campground, not so much as number of sites but how big it is. The big attraction here is across the street; the Pacific Ocean. You can see it in the picture below. Below is also the town of Newport. It’s a typical small coastal town, like Mystic or New London, CT

Another look at the ocean. We’re just now crossing over the bridge that will bring us into Newport. As a person who still has a love for boating this marina is awesome. Below, once again, crossing the bridge.
 

This is another Thousand Trails RV Campground and it’s a first come- first serve basis as far as choosing a site. They’ve gotten very organized. Our primary objective is Wi-Fi and Satellite for Dish, we got both.  They actually gave us a print-out of each site designating which had line of sight satellite with either carry-out or roof-mount availability; awesome! Why can’t they all offer that convenience. The last time we were here Wi-Fi was a zero except for directly inside the camp buildings. Verizon, on the other hand, does not exist here, at least not at this time. No phone service at all. If you catch a break it’s very broken up and not worth the effort. 
 

 Today the 15th and yes, Father’s Day, and I won’t go any further on that. We were getting antsy and needed some exercise so I suggested taking a walk to the ocean. It’s not far, about a half mile, half of it on a small windy trail to the ocean, but we did it.

 Today is very cool and breezy around 53 deg., unlike Boca at 85,  and Greenfield, MA t 64.  The wind is very strong but it does feel good. Once again, unlike New London, CT you just don’t get that strong mist of “salt-air,” I miss that sensation.

 We hung out at the ocean for about twenty minutes and decided we’d had enough so it’s time to go back to the camp.

 Below is the camp game-rooms.

 Today, being Father’s Day, all the dads were being treated to a free hot dog. It’s free so we stayed and each had a dog. Just prior to the dog we chose a DVD for this evening viewing, since we have no Verizon connection, and chose Skyscraper. Haven’t seen it before, most likely a B movie. About half way home I noticed I had my camera and soda but no DVD. Went back and looked around. I distinctly remember putting it on the table when we ate, but got the table mixed up with the table we went to, to get our dogs. Got to give RVers a little credit. Thirty minutes after leaving it on the wrong table, it was still there, and Carla retrieved it, Thank-You Lord!
