June 29, 2015. Back to the Oregon coast!

CAMPGROUND:  Newport Marina and RV Park. Full hook-ups. Cable.  On-site brewery!!  $32/night.  5 stars
LOCATION:  Newport, Oregon about midway on the coast
WEATHER:  Hot inland, but perfect 60s and sun on coast

We left the Columbia River RV park this morning after enjoying watching cargo ships pass by...

We are so sad to hear about the wildfires in central Washington.  They are in the area where we were just a few days ago.  We actually drove through Wenatchee, the heart of the fires.

Today, we drove south and west through busy Portland, then the beautiful lush Williamette Valley  chock full of vineyards and wineries.  

Our destination was Newport.  We knew that it would be cooler here.  We were here a few weeks ago, and it is on our way to George's friend's house where we are storing the camper while we fly to the Midwest later this week.

This RV park is at the marina and on the Rogue Brewery premises.  George is in heaven!  We strolled around the marina, then walked just a few steps  to the Rogue Brewery for dinner.  They have a relationship with TV star Chef Marimoto, so feature some Japanese items on the menu.  We started with decadent Kobe beef balls with Oregon blue cheese.  Then fish and chips made with local halibut.  I had an "8-hop IPA" and George had an "Aged Dead Guy Ale".
