On Tuesday, Terry, Kirk, Pam and Kelly hiked the lighthouse trail. Very nice 2 mile hike. A big challenging with mud and lots of tree roots to trip on. But very rewarding. Pam took lots of pictures of mushrooms along the way.
We went to dinner a the Homegrown Public House. Food was great. Beer was good. Pam and Terry found their new favorite “Razzle Drop Martini”. We then went to the beach for a cold and windy sunset.

On Thursday, we visited the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville. This is the home of the Spruce Goose. At the time, the largest airplane ever built. It was engineered and developed by Howard Hughes and only flown for 1 mile. Below is a video on the journey of the Spruce Goose to McMinnville – Interesting.
Some of us took the guided tour through the plane and were able to get up into the cockpit and sit in the pilot chair. Very Fun!
The aviation museum has may aircraft and space craft; highly recommend stopping by for a few hours if you are in the area.

In the afternoon, we went to a sports bar: “End of the Trail Public House“. They had all the games on multiple TV’s, and the Packers found a way to win in overtime.
Sorry, not many pictures again.

On Wednesday we drove 77 miles to Toutle River RV Resort in Castle Rock, WA. This is a huge resort that is very well done and well run. It sits between the interstate and active train tracks, so there is some noise which did not bother us.
The weather was rainy and cloudy most of the time, so we did not get many pictures.
On Monday, we travelled 148 miles to Riverfront Park in Raymond, WA. This is not a campground, but a city park where they have 20amp outlets for vendors. We stayed here for 2 nights.
Monday night, the group we had dinner at the Willapa Brewing Company. The local beer was good, and the pizza was great. So great, we had dinner there again the next night.
On Tuesday, we started out our day at the White Pines Coffee Company inside the shops at Adler & Co. Very cute place with very good coffee and snacks. All there are 70 different local businesses selling stuff there.
Next, we visited the Willapa Seaport Museum and got a tour from Captain Pete. He can really spin a tail and he tries to stump you with questions on what things are. Kelly won a special prize – a brass button!
After the Seaport Museum, we went next door to the Northwest Carriage Museum. Sounds kinda sleepy, but it was wonderful. The tour by Jerry was outstanding and the the history was great. Gotta go if you are in town. Cheri impressed us all when she played the trumpet.
