Made it from Olympia Wa to Astoria Or via hwy 101

Got to the campground right at dark and paid for a power water hookup site

Power is out throughout the campground due to the big wind storm last night

The camper is self contained and everything that needs to be full is full and everything that needs to be empty is empty

Dry out so enjoying my first campfire of the trip

I am at a state park, and that’s where I usually stay

Private parks can be nice but usually more than the $30-40 USD at the state ones with hookups

The nicest ones won’t allow my 25 yo rig

Saw one private one today that caught my fancy

In the middle of nowhere and it had a pub that was open

Too early in the day for this trip, I still had daylight and miles to go

I bought two bundles of campfire wood on the way down and lit it at 5pm just after dark

About 20 minutes left at 930

I’d burn more if I had it, I don’t have to get up early tomorrow

I can hear coyotes yipping in the forest

Each bundle of wood came with about ten pieces of kindling

I set them aside and used charcoal briquettes and fluid to start the big pieces on fire

Now that the big pieces are mostly gone the kindling is working well to give me another 20-30 minutes
