Camper Club Visits The Coast

Seventeen members traveled to Ocean Lake Elks Wapiti RV Park in Lincoln City for the last camp out of the season. Some fog, but mostly sun provided walks on the beach, deep sea fishing, out-door confabs and a good time. Friday night we dined at the Ocean Lake Elks Lodge . We were treated royally with good food and service. Saturday, some went shopping, gambling and walking on the beach. More of the same on Saturday with a potluck in the evening at one of the small shelters. Cards, games, good food and friends made for a pleasant evening. Sunday morning at dawn, Reinard, John, Pat, Ellis and Herb went deep sea fishing at Depoe Bay. No ling cod was caught but a few yellow-tail rock fish. Some left behind went to Vivien's in Lincoln City for breakfast--great food and service and then on to Depoe Bay to check up on the fishermen and whales which were sighted. This was a small group but large on fellowship. Pictures are from the breakfast at Vivien’s, thank you Sandi, for the picture.
