Seaside, OR - March 31, 2014

Sunday the 30th, the rain we were expecting held off untill we got packed up and on our way. We hit the dump station on our way out and were on the road by 9:30. Then it did drizzle a bit.

We got back on Highway 101 for today's 76 mile move to Seaside. OR. We stoppd off at the Tillamook Cheese Factory in Tillamook just as the rain began to stop. WE have been here several times, but always enjoy the stop.


It is fascinating to watch them crank out the cheese.



And then the best part..... samples!



We only went through the sample line once, but I really did sample each variety...twice! Good cheese!

We bought some cheese and peperoni sticks and then had breakfast in their café. When we left, the rain was over.

On up to Seaside Resort. This is the 4th Thousand Trails park we have stayed in while traveling up Hwy 101 this trip. We are getting our money's worth out of our Thousand Trails membership. This 3 day stay will make 182 times we have stayed in their parks since we have purchased our membership.

When counting the purchase price, transfer fees, and yearly maint. dues, we are averaging $22.66 per night. Pretty good! And that number will only keep getting smaller and smaller.

Like they say... It is only worth it if you use it.

We arrived at the park just after noon.



We got checked in.



And headed into one of the sections to pick out a site.


No hills or giant trees here like the last park.


We chose a site and got all set up.



Monday, Donna started some laundry and I rode my bike around the park and into town.

Here is a few shots of the park.


Large indoor pool and hot tub area.




The clubhouse has good internet. I updated RVillage as to where we are now, and made a few changes to www.thefergs.com. I worked on some end of month stats and financials. And of course updated our blog. 


For the month of March, our average cost of our camping spots came out to $3.41 per night. Not too shabby!


Tomorrow we explore!

  2. An average of $3.41 a night is awesome, nice job! We loved our time on the coast but did not make it as far north as you. Maybe if we are in the same area next year we can get together.

  3. That cheese does look good. I have always been hesitant to try new cheeses. Pepperjack is all I need
