Evacuation!


In exchange for volunteering for the “Whale Watching Spoken Here” program, we were offered free camping at Beachside State Park just North of Yachats where we have stayed the last three days.  Rain and high winds have made it a pretty miserable stay, and for the last two nights we have slept with the slide in to help stabilize the motor home and cut down on some of the noise.  When the Ranger appeared at our door this morning to announce that they were evacuating the campground due to flooding, it was sort of the last straw.  We were supposed to man our site again tomorrow, but with continuing rain and the wind predicted to pick-up again we decided to throw in the towel and drive home to Elkton. (The photo was taken through the windshield as we were driving out through the flooded drive way.)
