Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean
Today we arrived in the Astoria, OR area. It was a relatively short drive west from our campground near Mt. St. Helens. We stopped at a truck stop along the way that had a truck wash to rinse off the outside of the RV. The wash bay and equipment were so dirty that by the end of it, the outside of the RV was cleaner and we were dirtier. Oh well.
Originally, we had reservations at the KOA outside of Astoria. When I called over two weeks ago, they said this was the last full hookup spot that they had. After we checked in, we drove to the space and it was not going to work for us at all. The space was full of low tree limbs that we would have had to cut down or risk scraping up the paint job on the RV. Plus it was only a 30 amp site when we reserved a 50 amp. So there we were, on labor day weekend, in a full campground with a space that we could not fit in. Geez! I quickly called a campground down the road, and with my fingers crossed, asked if they had a space available....and they did. So Mike went up the office and got us a refund at the KOA.
We are now at Kampers West Kampground, which is definetly a fishermans campground. Boats everywhere! I have even seen a few of the campers here advertising guided fishing. Anyway, the spot only has 30 amp service but we're making it work and by switching campgrounds, we ended up saving almost $50. The neighbors are nice and I'm happy. Tomorrow is going to be a full day around Astoria and we'll probably do some fishing on Monday.
