Alder Dunes Campground, Florence, Oregon

Friday: (10/28) Lou made ham Don McMuffins for breakfast. We headed on to Florence stopping for the day at Alder Dune CG a few miles North of town.

We stopped on the way at Devil's Churn for a little hike and a look at the power of the sea. In town we picked up our mail and visited several thrift stores. I made a haul finding six western shirts. We stopped for lunch at Mo's, a restaurant famous for their clam chowder which we had along with some fish and chips.

With our work done, we stopped at the Three Rivers Casino. Nice casino. We could move here and stay free at the casino but it is a parking lot. For dinner Lou fixed BBQ ribs with baked French fried potatoes and broccoli.

I was looking through the gas log book and calculated how many miles we've driven, so far, on this trip to Alaska. More than 11,118 miles. And that's only the miles on this trip. A trip is from and back to home. We also went down to Quartzsite, Yuma and other desert locations. With those miles we've driven over 14,000 miles this year, a good bit more than our normal travel year.
