Visit with Margie and Bruce

Today was the day fellow bloggers, Margie and Bruce, visited us at our RV park in Astoria.   They drove up here after they arrived in Seaside this morning.  We had a wonderful visit.  I would say that we made some new friends, except that I felt like we were already friends because of following each other's blogs.  Even though we are not full-time RVers, we still had a lot in common with Margie and Bruce.  It was fun to swap stories of where we had been and what we had done.  They are easy-going, genuinely nice people.  The world needs more people like that! 

We went out for a late lunch to Wet Dog Cafe in Astoria which is located along the waterfront.  Dave, Margie, and Bruce had bison burgers and I had clam chowder and salad.  On the way out of the cafe, we located a letterbox, which is kind of like a geocache, except that it uses rubber stamps and doesn't depend on GPS to locate it.  Fun times!

After Margie and Bruce left around 5 pm, we decided to try to find a few more geocaches.  We went to the Warrenton Waterfront Trail.  We combined geocaching with a walk, and ended up walking a 5K, which I had been wanting to do.  I didn't plan on doing it on a weedy, gravel path, though.  The path was supposed to be along the river, and it was, kind of, but it went through the marshy area next to the river instead.  We saw several blue herons and lots of other interesting birds.  The walk was good, but my feet and hips were very sore by the time we finished.  We found two of the three caches we looked for.
