Camping in Newport

Josh and Ariel rode bikes down to Corvallis and then the 6 of us (Joe and Chelsea too) went camping on the coast in Newport, OR. The first thing we did once we got there was hit up "Moe's" seafood dinner. The claim to fame is the clam chowder, they even have a picture of GWB eating there. My claim to fame is having this picture of Chelsea eating there.

The harbor has a cool bridge over it and also lots of sleeping Sea Lions on the docks.


Our campsite was right on the coast and also under a bridge so we could feel like hobos.

Cooking!

It got cold and we decided to take the camping trip to the Rogue Brewery in Newport, a very good call and we managed to get in on some bar trivia.

Oregon Coast

On the way to visit Joe and Chelsea we stopped in at my Great Uncle Roger and Aunt Jan's house for a night. They live near the Oregon coast on a Salmon fishing river and we got enjoy a wonderful Salmon dinner and a cruise down the river on their boat.

We then took the Oregon coast highway the rest of the way to Corvallis.

warning!
Once we got to Corvallis we went out for dinner with Joe and Chelsea.

This led to going to a dive bar, then led us to the upstairs of the dive bar to the crappy dance bar. On the way home Joe and I saw his new neighbors outside having move in party. The first thing the 20 year old host asked us was "are you guys 21...... too?" It was fairly obvious he thought we might be undercover cops.
