After a very sleepless night, listening to the non-stop fireworks....during an extreme fire warning, we had a very lazy day. Making slow progress on the miles behind us....we made a whole 30 mile journey today...whew!! Made our way into Astoria.
On our way to the campsite we thought we would stop to get groceries...and maybe wine and beer... at the Fred Meyer, when George noticed a young couple...park really close to our truck...next to a Hobby and Craft store...(they didn't look like the hobby type). They looked pretty suspicious and when I got out to take Gracie for a walk, I heard the guy talking on the phone saying "they just pulled into the parking lot....she just got out of the trailer")...we were being "cased"...OMG!!!!! we almost got our stuff ripped off...our bikes would have been gone...We got the heck outa there....George would have liked to "smash their skulls in" but thought better....USA...Freedom to bear ARMS!!! not a great time to get shot!!!
Got all settled into Fort Stevens State Park and took a long walk on the beach, a very long walk....The day was warm...we misjudged the distance...and the amount of water for three of us....one small bottle....George and I were very thirsty....Gracie not so much....
