Little Creek Casino & Resort

Shelton, WA • Elevation: 55 feet

We’ve been here 8 days and we leave tomorrow for Seaquest State Park which is about 75 miles south of us.

It’s been a blast! Great food, cheap laundry ($0.75), and large showers. Everything very, very clean. We were regulars at the Island Grille for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Very little cooking in our RV.

Our site #33

Jan played the slots for a few days, no big wins . . . unlike a player near us as we ate lunch . . .

Today’s highlight was dessert at a DQ . . .

It’s been a while since we stopped at a DQ

Finally, we begin our week-long trek back home . . .

Some stops on our way back to Mariposa

French Fire

7/13/24 – the fire is now 98% contained.

7/7/24 – the fire is now over 50% contained. Whew! Dodged another bullet.

So we arrived at our next campground (Wallicot River RV Campground & Resort in Ilwaco, WA) early Friday afternoon.

Soon after we arrived, Jan received a text message from a friend of hers at Idlewheels RV Park, our home base. The friend told Jan that a fire had started near the Mariposa High School yesterday the 4th and was now 843 acres and was only 15% contained.

A bit close to our home in Idlewheels

Needless to say, we’re watching this fire very closely.

The water’s ok, but the waves, uh, not so sure

Lucky Lodge RV Park

Gold Beach, CA • Elevation: 55 feet

One of our favorite destinations. We were here about 5 years ago (https://rvseniormoments.com/2019/06/12/lucky-lodge-rv-park-gold-beach-or/).

This time we stayed for a week in the same site we had in 2019.

Site #9 – Same dog, different RV.
After a long swim . . .

Our Lucky Lodge stay was all about Flirt swimming in the Rogue River and our jet boat ride . . .

FLIRT & THE ROGUE RIVER

JERRY’S ROGUE JET BOATS

Really, really fun . . . but four hours on the river. Our trip started at 9:30 am from Gold Beach, CA. We had lunch about Noon, and then returned home about 2 pm.

Both of us wore 4 layers of clothes
