October 31-Nov 1, 2019 Newport, Oregon

High 50's and sunny.

We are now camped at South Beach State Park in Newport, Oregon. A lovely open sunny park. The last two spots we camped we were nestled in deep dark forest, so the sun is great. We are parked by the restrooms and all their lights. Great place to test the new black out shades. We went to Toledo, Oregon to watch the kids trick or treat on main street. They closed main street and most of the businesses and handed out goodies to the kids. The kids were real cute. 

I think my favorite was this tiny little boy dressed as a pirate with his pirate dog. Fall colors in city park in Toledo with a Dr Suess tree. 

The marina on the river in Toledo, Oregon with mirror smooth water. With the Georgia Pacific plant in the background. They restore these beautiful wooden sailboats here. there were a couple more in line to be restored too. The Georgia Pacific Railroad museum. Check out that giant log. 

The town was real cute. Lots of shingle sided houses and this lovely St John's Episcopal Church. The Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport, Oregon was built in 1936. It was designed by Conde McCullough. There are ll of Conde's bridges on the coast of Oregon. Here it is as we drove over it and in the sunset from the beach. 

Sunset on the beach at the campground tonight. Welcome to Newport, the friendliest, The Green Dragon at the Green Dragon dispensary in Toledo. It was growling and had glowing eyes for the trick or treaters. The Holy Toledo Bar in downtown Toledo, Oregon, A giant mosaic with the history of Toledo, Oregon depicted. A sliver moon in a twisted tree at sunset. 

Finished this xmas ornament today. I signed up for a pine needle ornament exchange and need to get one made. Making a couple others to get the best one to send.  I took a nice bike ride tonight on the bike path through the park and out onto the south jetty. The Yaquina bay bridge at sunset tonight.

A closer shot of the Yaquina Bay bridge at sunset tonight.  The last sliver of the sun set tonight over the Yaquina River.
