Weather at Garibaldi became a full strength Gale. It was nice to have cable TV. In the late afternoon we leaned into the wind and walked to the Troller for drinks, dinner and long and enjoyable conversation with the locals.
In the morning we headed north with several possible destinations for the next two days before a reserved Memorial Day weekend at Long Beach. We benefitted from a local gas price war and a ten cent QFC discount, but still paid four dollars per gallon. We planned on finding crab for dinner and pursued a source for a camera to iPad connector. We succeeded with the cable and waited to long for crab. Our final choice for the two nights was Cape Dissapointment (formerly Fort Canby) State Park. Ilwaco provided crab, albeit frozen. We don't know if Oregon suppliers might have had fresh. The park was fantastic - two days on the wild Pacific Coast in the woods with a spectacular primordial beach.
We're now at Long Beach in a fairly crowded park to enjoy the weekend and the annual garage sale. Jim, Abbie and Charlie the dog have joined us, and are providing local transportation. The forecast calls for sun. However it is now quite grey and cool. We are headed to breakfast before the crowds.
