Northward Ho!

Our continued travel north has fallen into a rhythm of sorts.  We're staying two days at each stop to explore. We are also continuing to enjoy the hospitality of Elks clubs on the west coast.  The Elks as a group have always been inviting to RV'ers and now increasingly are making bigger and better accommodations.  Some clubs have parking lots with water and electricity and dump stations either on site or near the park.  Other clubs have extensive accommodations with full hook-ups and sites that are landscaped for privacy.

Florence, OR Elks Campground

The Florence , OR Elks is one such club.  Although they do have some hook-ups at their club site in town, they have recently added a campground outside of town with 20 full hook-up sites beautifully landscaped with large spaces to walk the dog.  What is consistent with each Elks club is hospitality.  Like so many service groups, they are quite proud and protective of the welcome visitors get.  We drove the Jeep north up the coast to investigate some of the camping areas and enjoy the incredible view of the Pacific coast.

The most fun, as always, is taking Maci to the beach.  I'd say that is the third 'rhythm' of our travels.  Beach or dog park, Maci is getting more off-leash time than ever.  As long as I have beef jerky in my pocket, she always comes back.  If Maci had her way, shed walk the beach to Washington...
