Wednesday, July 11 – Premier RV Resort, Lincoln City OR97367

ABDIP 28C and the sun is totally owning it’s space in the sky again.  We are moving on from this lovely park today, we are going to a ‘Safari So Good’ Rally in Lincoln City, run by our new friends Joy and Gary.  We drive a little north so we can hook up with the Walmart at McMinville and then head west along Hwy 18 which is a much better road than some we have traversed getting between the ocean and inland.  In the middle of nowhere we come across the Spirit Mountain Casino and the carpark is probably 40% full at 11am.

Orchards and crops everywhere

Willamette River

As we get closer to the coast we can see a hint of the fog coming off the sea and we join up with Hwy 101 and proceed to stop/start our way through the busy town.  There is another casino here in town, the Chinook Winds.  Also an Outlet Mall!

We keep driving to the south end of Lincoln City where we pull in to the Premier RV Resort, site 73.  What a lovely park, the sites are tiered, relatively private, concrete, flat and each has a nice patio area with a small picnic table.  We are parked up in the same block as the other Safari coaches.

One row of Safaris, ours has the chairs out the front

Two rows of Safaris

Our welcome pack includes a list of all the attendees and it appears there are 17 coaches and 33+ POBs.  We have met some members before and there is at least one couple who is enjoying their first time at one of these rallies.  It’s great to catch up with Bobbi and Tom again and we are happy to learn that they are still full timing in their lovely motorhome. By the time we have set up, interspersed with much chatting with others, had a bite of lunch and a relax in the sun, it is time for HH and OMG it is a big one, all 30+ people attend and we see some more familiar faces.  Instead of dinner tonight we are enjoying ‘Heavy Hors d’ourvres’ and they are indeed heavy enough so that we need just some ice cream at home to top it all off and we are done for the day.  The sun is still out, no fog, it’s 23C at 7pm and we are happy!
