Fog and huckleberries

 
 A little fog never hurt anyone!  We had a lovely walk on the beach in the afternoon fog of Florence, OR.
As I mentioned in my last post, we have arrived at the Heceta Beach RV Park in Florence, OR.  It is a real delight.   I chose this park from the description on the park website and after consulting RV Park Reveiws dot com.  I chose it because it got acceptable reviews, and it is the closest to the beach of all the RV parks in Florence. 

To  my delight, it is a real treasure. The folks are friendly, the sites are reasonably level, even if they are gravel covered.  There is enough privacy provided by plant life, but not so much that we couldn't connect with the satellite dish. 

The bonus is that the plant life between the camp sites includes mountain huckleberry plants.  We were able to pick enough berries for a huckleberry crisp, which Jill made for our dessert.  With a little vanilla ice cream on top, obtained at the onsite mini-mart, it is to die for.  Of course, no dessert is complete without dinner.  Ours consisted of vegetables marinated in Italian dressing and cooked on the grill, and boneless, skinless chicken breasts grilled with a mesquite rub and Italian dressing marinade. I have never had a better meal in any restaurant.

Another bonus is that this park is only about three blocks from the beach.  We took Pogo for a romp on the beach and found that there was one other couple on the beach on Thursday afternoon.  In the semi foggy state of the afternoon, it appeared that the beach went on for miles in either direction.  What fun we had. Tomorrow, we will explore Florence. In the meantime, we are thoroughly enjoying our little piece of paradise on Heceta Beach Road.
