USGA Senior Women’s Open - Day 3

Today, J was jobless at the Championship and N’s shift didn’t start until noon. But, we decided to go early in case J could find a purpose. As it turned out, the Standard Barer team needed an extra hand. Unfortunately, J didn’t realize how heavy and awkward those standards really are. But, she persevered and got through the whole (hot!) round…

LePage Park - Wasco, OR

Each day of driving seems to bring its own beauty and wonder. Today, for much of our drive, we were treated with three snow-capped mountain peaks (and sometimes four). We’re not exactly sure which mountains they were. We are thinking Mt. Hood, and Mt. Rainier pretty definitely, but we’re not sure what the third and fourth might be. We’ll have to Google that when we have better internet. But, we also came upon the might Columbia River today in all her glory. She is huge! And, let me tell you, she attracts a mighty wind!! There are thousands of wind turbines in this area because of it. And, our ‘crosswind assist’ came on multiple times - Nan can attest to it because I think she screamed each time!?!?

Ocean City State Park - Hoquiam, WA

Had a relatively easy travel day today. Headed south along the coast to Ocean City. While we thought this campsite was right on the ocean, there is a bit of a trek to get there. Plus, the beach is huge! So, even when you get to the beach, it is still a ways to be able to put your toes into the cooold water. But, very enjoyable and just a couple more people than the beaches at home. This state park is nice because the sites have a lot of space and there is a lot of room between each site. It feels private, but safe.  We’ve heard a lot about how wonderful the Oregon coast is. So, we spent some time today researching and looking for places with availability, especially over the weekend. Our options were much more limited than we had anticipated. But, we managed to secure spots until next Monday. We’ll figure out our plans after that, probably on Sunday night…
