Last night it rained and it kept it up\nthis morning. I thought we were going to be blessed with a wet\ndeparture, including wet heads, hair and clothes but about 8:00 AM\nthe rain quit. We quickly shlepped outside and made final\npreparations to split. By just after 10:00, we were coasting down the\nhill from Paradise TT to US-12 where we turned west about 20 miles to\nI-5. We turned south to Longview and Kelso and exited the freeway,\ncrossed the Columbia River and continued west on OR-30. No sooner had\nwe turned onto OR-30 when we came upon a vehicle wreck blocking part\nof the other side of the divided highway. It appeared than some\ninattentive soldier had flipped his heavy Army vehicle into the ditch\nsuch that it ended up on its side pointing the wrong way. Many other\nbrave warriors were lingering alongside the road as another Army\nvehicle tried to crane the now-ruined truck and mobile machine gun\nplatform from the muck. The ruined rig looks like it will now provide\nparts but not transportation. Maybe an hour later, we passed through\ngorgeous Astoria and continued on OR-30 a bit further where we got\nonto US-101 south to Seaside. Not far off 101 we pulled into the\nSeaside Thousand Trails for another nearly-free stay at one of our\nmembership campgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seaside TT has full hookups and decent sized spaces but no WiFi. Our satellite dish works well here. The campground is right on the west edge of town and abundant shopping and touristy stuff is nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
