We left Kelso, WA. and went back thru Astoria on our way to Tillamook, OR. where we stayed at a cheap campground for a few days.
Thru all of this, Jim and Bobbie continued to have problems with their truck. After much frustration, Jim called the local Chevy dealer who told him flat out that he could not help him as he was short handed. The next closest dealer was back toward Astoria and Jim made an appointment with them for today (Oct. 17th). They confirmed that the problem was injectors on the Duramax diesel and, long story short, told him that they thought that Chevy would cover part of the cost. It turns out that they will cover about $1500 of the approximate $4000 dollar cost. But, it will take a week to get parts.
We left Jim and Bobbie in Tillamook last Saturday morning and are staying by ourselves in Lincoln City, OR. for several days at an Elks club.
So….without further ado, I will show you some of the Oregon coast in all its magnificent splendor:
That is just a small area. We did a trip today (Oct. 17) that has even more spectacular stuff…..we are going to sit out on a point south of Lincoln City in the next few days to have a picnic lunch and watch for whales. There are more pictures on Picasa if you want to look at them.

I almost forgot to tell you about Walker. The carpet on our steps going outside was getting pretty dirty, so Linda took it off. When Walker went out one time he must have gotten his toenail caught in one of the holes and tore the nail almost all the way off. We took him to a vet and they did surgery and removed the nail. He now has a bandage on his owie, but seems to be moving around just fine. We took the bandage off after the 5 days, and it started bleeding again, so we are now rebandaging it as necessary
That gets you pretty much up to date except for today.
If you have trouble with the link let me know….not sure how to fix it thou..
love to ya
Jim and Linda
