We got to Seaside, Oregon

We left Bend, Oregon Monday morning about 9:30 for Seaside, Oregon. The trip was about 270 miles. We took Highway 20 out of Bend towards Sisters and Salem.

Highway 20
We are always a little concerned when we take highways instead of freeways because of low tunnels and overpasses, and because highways can become windy and steep two lane roads. The 5th wheel is almost 14' tall, so when we see tall 18 wheelers coming towards us in the opposite direction it does ease us somewhat. There was one tunnel and the heights was not listed, but there were trucks coming through from the other side.
We had been told by Matt and Joanne to get to Sisters, but one week was just not enough time in Bend and we did not get a chance to. We did drive through on our way to Seaside and it is a cute town.

Because this is Oregon the weather was constantly changing during our drive, it would POUR rain down on us, and then it would be sunny for awhile. It was a tough drive, but beautiful the entire way!

Highway to Seaside
In the above picture you can see the cloud line in the road. It would also be like this with the rain. It would be pouring down, and then it would be dry. We finally made it to the 101 highway which is a two lane road not a major freeway here. As you can see it was raining when we arrived.

Almost there!
The campground is 1/2 mile off of the 101 right smack in the middle of Seaside. It is a great location. It is a Leisure Time that was bought by Thousand Trails.

This is our campsite. We got on the 'North' side which is actually across the street from the sign above. It still has a gate that you need to put a code in to access. Their is an indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna on our side. In addition on our side all the sites are 50 amp. RV Bill had given us the heads up to come to this side. 

Large grassy sites.
 There are three time a day that the indoor pool is adult swim time. 8:00-9:30, 4:00-5:00, and finally 9:00-10:30 which is when the pool closes. We used it from 9:00-10:30 which was really nice.

That's it for tonight,
God Bless,
Brian and Patty
