Today we took our bikes into Newport which is a couple miles away and biked around town.
We also moved to a new campsite today which is right across the road from a beach access trail. So only about 1/4 mile to the beach now. That's not quite as bad. We'll probably go surfing tomorrow.

We have now moved to a new campground. We are now in South Beach State Park. It's a quite large campground, so people everywhere, but there are little trees between campsites... Every site is a hookup site though, so we can finally fully charge our batteries. We're even using the water, so our loud, annoying water pump doesn't run when we run water.
Fun fun.The beach is a bit of a walk which is fine except for the fact that we want to go surfing and carrying the boards and wearing the wet suits during the walk would be painful... We'll see what we do.

Well, we've been staying in Lincoln City in a State Park for a few days. Went on a nice bike ride yesterday and went out to eat at a Thai place. Very good food there. We went to Mexican place the day before that. It was named Mazatlan, which was the same as the place we went in Rockaway Beach that we liked so much. It must have been a similar company, but the menu was a bit different.
We've been running low on power because of lack of sun, and now out camping spot doesn't have much sun either. So today we drove to a public parking by the beach and went surfing while we let our batteries charge some. The surf was crazy. Very wishy-washy and we had to work really hard to get out. So we didn't stay out too long. It was still fun though.

Here are some photos of the woods and a stump here. There are these huge, old stumps all over. I think I have a few decent pics on my camera, so the next time I can use my computer (very rainy = no sun = no solar power :( ) I'll try to get those up too.

P.S. I added a couple more from my camera
One of many huge stumps throughout the forest.
A different part of the forest. Not far from a clearing where we saw either a wolf or coyote.
A nasty, big slug.
A tree growing out of an old stump.
Our little area where we parked for a week.

Eeeewww. Last night while watching a DVD, a spider came down right in front of the tv. We killed that one then kept watching. Within half an hour, one was walking on the down comforter across me. We killed that one then, after we had gotten up, I just about ran into another one hanging from the ceiling. So, we started searching for them. In total we found at least 10. They were all the same kind, pretty decent sized and gross looking. We have no idea if there was a nest somewhere and they just got out or what, but we didn't see anymore after that... Hopefully we don't have to worry about them anymore. Gross!
