Our Oregon Shows - Winchester Bay Oceanfest

July 16. We left Hayward, CA this morning in our motor home at 3:00AM and headed up north to Oregon. I always like to leave early to avoid traffic and the weather is cooler during the earlier time of the day. We took Highway 80 to Vacaville and drove up Highway 505 from there, connecting with I-5 near Dunnigan.

The weather was mild the entire trip. There was quite a bit of smoke in the clouds near Yreka, which dissapated after about another 30-40 miles. We had thoughts of dropping by the Jackson County Fair when we passed through Central Point, but it was quite early, approx 9:45AM. We know a number of vendors there, including our favorite smoothie maker, Michelle, who has one of the most colorful, nicely decorated booths you will ever seen. Next show for her will be the Coos County Fair, where we shall be next week.

I gassed up for a price of $4.37 per gallon and in Oregon, they pump it for you, which is nice for lazy people. We proceded up I-5 and turned West at Winton and headed some 65 miles to Myrtle Point, Coos Bay and arrived in Winchester Bay around 3:00PM. It's about 67 degrees here and a little bit breezy. Last year we had heavy winds a on a couple days, it rained.

We parked the motor home over in a dry-camping area for $11 per night. Nice fresh breeze here and I can hear the sea gulls outside. Set-up is Thursday at 10:00AM. I expect to take at least six hours. The Oceanfest here in Winchester Bay starts on Friday and runs through Sunday. Stop by and see us. DandL CREATIONS. Look for the booth with the colorful shoulder/sling bags handing toward the front. You can not miss that. See ya. Great weather this weekend.
