We finally got into a RV site at Ft. Stevens! Even though this huge campground has over 475 RV sites, 15 yurts, and 10 deluxe cabins, it was completely full last weekend. That's a lot of campers on one place! Not only do they have campgrounds, but also lots of access to beaches and a historic military site. Once you get here, you feel like you're in the middle of Sherwood forest!
This is the view from the back window in our trailer. Lots of vegetation.
We got here Sunday afternoon, and even though it was windy and chilly, we drove to the beach area where we could then walk to the shipwreck site of the Peter Iredale. The 4 masted sailing vessel ran aground here in October, 1906.
I got Sandy's picture as she walked past me along the outside of the ship.
Don knew he should have worn his long pants AND his jacket the minute he stepped out on to the beach area here. We had gone from 95 degree weather the day before to a cool 60 degrees when we got to the park entrance (and that was before wind chill).
Here is another view of the ship's remains:
It was finally cold enough to build a fire! All the time we had spent in Yellowstone, Banff and Columbia Falls were record heat days. None of us wanted to start a fire when it was in the high 90's. Sherry is the "resident" fire maker, and does a great job of getting it started and keeping it going.
Don is multi-tasking here: warming up his backside and texting. I think Jerry is just content to be next to the fire.
