| Beach combing success |
Well, almost. The kids got out of school for Christmas break on a Friday, giving us almost a week before the actual holiday. We took the RV to Grayland Beach State Park. This is something that I have wanted to do for some time. There's just something about being at the coast when it's stormy... Maybe it's getting back inside and getting warm... Anyway, we got there as sunset was quickly approaching. Colton and I trekked out to the actual beach. We found that with high tide and plenty of rain, the beach was barely even there. Quite a bit different than what we are used to seeing during the summer. There were 4 or 5 other camping rigs in our loop. Everyone appeared to be already inside for the evening. The rain was pretty much a constant for the period of time that we were there. This is the first time we've been to the State Park, and found it to be very nice. We had power and water, but no sewer. I had really wanted to get out and do some beachcombing, and that finally occurred. I was able to find some kind of a float. Happy days! The kids seemed to have a good time, although they did get a little stir crazy with most of their time spent inside. Most people in our loop left on the second day we were there... Weird... Anyways we had the place mostly to ourselves for two days. That's different. I found that there was a different challenge to deal with when camping at the beach in the winter. Moisture. Everywhere in the RV. There was water that formed in all the cabinets on the outside edges of the motorhome. I'd like to get a good de-humidifier, but holy cow they're kinda expensive. At least a couple hundred bucks. We also had to continue dealing with a problem that surfaced on the hunting trip. The rear furnace wouldn't light off. It just wouldn't work. The family played some Monopoly, except for me. I never have liked that game. We cleared out in time to get home and then head down to Linda and Marty's house for the customary Christmas celebration. It was kinda nice having the motorhome there. It allowed me the chance to imbibe several adult beverages and not have to worry about driving. I, shall we say, took advantage of the opportunity. Very well. We have made reservations to go back to Grayland Beach State Park in the summer of 2011.
