3rd Time’s A Charm
One more weekend at Tugman State Park as we wind down our first season of RV’ing in the T@B. This is a great place to stay when we don’t want to travel too far from home - all the amenities we want for a great price and usually warmer and sunnier than Coos Bay. Camping with us was a couple from church, Tim and Gina Ehlin. We spent a lot of time walking around the lake and campground. I introduced them to geocaching. We decided to throw together a geocache ourselves and put it out on a newer section of trail along the lake edge. Had BBQ hamburgers for dinner, walked out to place the geocache then enjoyed a great evening around the campfire with these friends. It’s getting cold at night and could have used a small electric space heater! We tried using the propane heater but it kept setting off the smoke detector because it was new and hadn’t been used before. This makes our 10th outing in the T@B since spring! We’ve enjoyed every minute of it.

Seconds of Sutton
Yes indeed we returned to Sutton for a second weekend in a row. It has many of the things we like - a variety of trails and biking opportunities, clean facilities and well-spaced sites. Getting there was interesting to say the least. The pickup developed a problem with the alternator not charging the battery. By the time I got to Florence I was sure if I shut off the engine I wasn’t going to get it started again so I pulled into BiMart, left the engine running and bought a battery charger then headed for camp. Once I found a site and set up I hooked up the charger and hoped it would be enough to limp through the weekend. Friday I hiked Cummins Ridge Trail (6 mile round trip) to get the last cache in the area I hadn’t found yet. Pat and I went into Florence later. Saturday we explored more of the trail system that runs out to the beach and then over to another nearby campground - Alder Dune.

What? Another Weekend at Sutton!
We liked camping last weekend at Sutton Campground so much that we decided to come back this weekend. Mike and I thought it might be one of the last nice weekends before the fall rains set in on the coast. Should be a nice relaxing weekend.
