Outdoor Resorts Visit

After finishing up our short work day at 1 PM, we had a bite to eat and decided to go to Newport to pick up a prescription at Walmart. It was such a nice day and we really enjoy the coastline between Lincoln City and Newport. One of the places we pass every time we go to Newport is the Outdoor Resorts Motorcoach Resort at Pacific Shores. We were owners at one time of a lot in the Outdoor Resorts park in Palm Springs, so we had a curiosity about this particular park. First of all, it is a location for motor home owners only, which automatically removes any chance we would ever buy a space in there. The real interest for us was to see how close to the beach the Resort was and to see what owners had to pay to enjoy this spot on the coast. We were surprised that the prices for the remaining spaces in this park ranged from $34,900 to $54,900. Of course, none of those were Ocean Front lots, but every owner has access to the beach which is a long walk down a winding, paved trail. We took a picture of the view to the Yaquina Lighthouse in Newport:

It appears to be a good value for people owning a motor home and wanting a place to spend the summers on the coast. They (Outdoor Resorts) still have the rental program that they conduct for owners so that helps justify the purchase if you can't be there full time. Anyway, it brought back some memories for us and this is an excellent location.

NOTE: The entry for today had been delayed as a result of a computer problem. I switched to a new browser (Mozilla Firefox) a couple weeks ago because Microsoft's Internet Explorer was so slow. I gained lots of speed with the switch but discovered today that there were some software conflicts with Google Maps - to show our travels - and also with downloading images, so I switched back to Internet Explorer after trying for hours to fix the problem with Firefox.

Our plans for the day are still open, so I'm not sure how far we'll get with our original plan to go north. Josie has some "stay at home " projects, but we will probably still get out in the nice weather to do something, even if it's a short trip. We need to take advantage of all the nice days we get. Later...
