Recap of Trip so far, plus, Happy Birthday Marisa

We are in Elkton Oregon right now, arrived on Friday afternoon. Went to Marty's for dinner, what a fantastic dinner. We kind of made it a surprise 50th anniversary for Bob and Jackie, Marty made a special cake for them, it was very nice.
Linda showed up on Monday in the afternoon. we had all gotten together Monday night at Bob and Jackie's to talk about the trip. Headed out on Tuesday and stopped in Eureka, at the Moose Lodge, the Elk's Lodge was full. Stayed for 2 days and went touring around, Bob and Jackie use to live there so they were our tour master's.
Wednesday we left for Coquille, Oregon and stopped at the Elk's Lodge there. It was an all day drive, only because we made a lot of stops on the way. Our windshield wiper fell apart so we stopped at Walmart to try and get a new one. We are driving on the coast and with the fog we needed that windshield wiper. Walmart only had a 28 inch one and we needed a 32 inch one. We got it anyway, it was better then nothing, will get the right one later. Anyway, Coquille Valley Elk's Lodge camping is right in front of the golf course the Elk's own. Friday morning Dave, Bob, Lou, and Linda played golf, Jackie and I walked the course with them. Sharon, Bob's girl friend, wasn't feeling too well so she stayed in their RV. (there are 7 of us travelling together, soon to be 8, Linda's sister in law will join us on the 26th)
We left Coquille Valley on the 21st and landed in Elkton Oregon in the afternoon. We had dinner at Marty's, like I said before, and yesterday we drove into Winchester Bay and toured around and picked up Oyster's to BBQ for dinner. This morning we head out again and will end up in Lincoln City Oregon, another Elk's Lodge we hope.
Having a great time so far, will recap more of our trip later on.

Happy 36th Birthday to my niece, Marisa.
