Day 33 – Down day at Mt St Helens RV Park – Castle Rock WA
It was a really pleasant day to hang out at the RV. It wasn’t quite as cold this morning, but it was still nice not to have to roll out of bed and start touring or traveling. We had our coffee in our lawn chairs beside the RV. Today’s photo is of our campgrounds. I wanted to get the mountains in the distance, so you can only see the red Tracker where our RV is.
I did some work on my photos, mainly getting them labeled in Excel before I forget the who/what/when/where. I still have to process them through Photoshop before I can upload them to Flickr. I got all of them done except for yesterday. I took some breaks to read outside and watch some TV.
Bill (who can’t sit still for too long!) went into Castle Rock to ‘pick up a few items’. He mailed some post cards for me and went to the grocery. We both did some cleaning in the RV. It is amazing how the dust builds up and stuff gets tracked in.
Tonight we went to a local restaurant called Peper’s 49er Restaurant. Why Bill picked this one, I don’t know. It is like any small-town local restaurant. But it was close. We both got salads which consisted of green lettuce and shredded carrot. Bill got the country-fried steak with gravy which wasn’t too good. I got the halibut plate. The halibut actually wasn’t bad – not breaded and fried in a skillet and not a deep fryer. We got dessert with our dinners. Bill got rice pudding and I got the bread pudding. Neither was anything to write home about.
Tomorrow we travel again, but it should be a really short day, only 70 miles to Astoria OR.
