Clam Chowder, Mo' Better

It was time to seek out a great Oregon Coast bowl of clam chowder. We wanted clam chowder containing rich cream, cooked down potato chunks, a hint of bacon, and lots and lots of fresh razor clams. Mo’s restaurant is legend around these parts for their clam chowder, and it met all the criteria mentioned. (Painting on the left is the original Mo's in Newport, Oregon.)


We ate our perfect bowl of clam chowder at Mo’s in Lincoln City. With a warm misty rain falling outside and lots of sweaty little kiddies and hot, steaming bowls of chowder inside, the place was darn near foggy inside. To round out the whole experience, we had a few bottles of beer. I had the Mo’s Ale by Rogue.  I liked it! (Maybe it wasn't foggy...)

Cheers from Lincoln City.

The Joy of Shopping

Lincoln City probably has the best outlet mall, I've seen.  Any more, most of the outlet malls are just regular stores; you don't find any good buys.  But, I find good stuff at the Tanger Mall like the Gap jeans for $18, the golf shirt for $13, and Body & Bath body scrub for $4--this is good stuff!  I really wanted a Coach backpack purse, but no luck.  I'm happy, though.  Mike found a little, I mean little, Nikon digital camera for around $100.  It does everything--video, zoom--the whole enchilada.

The weather in Lincoln City, Oregon is wonderful today.  The rest of the day was relaxing in the sun on our patio.  It was around 70 degrees with clear, blue skies; and I'm digging it.  Not too hot and not too cold.  Just sat outside with a glass of chilled white wine.  Life is good.

Stop! It's Lincoln City.

We left Netarts Bay RV Park yesterday about 11 a.m. and arrived at our new location, Premier RV Park, in Lincoln City around noon.  What a nice park!  All the sites are pristine with a little patio and just the right amount of landscaping.  The office was efficient and modern.  Although, the park is located on Highway 101; we're near the back of the park and we don't hear any traffic noise.  At the end of our little "street" is a viewpoint of the ocean with a gas firepit and comfortable chairs.  I think I'm going to like it here.

Today was truly the first warm summer weather we've had since we started our retirement travels on June 1.  It's been a busy day--the 5'er got a complete washing, the truck got a wash, we walked the beach, Spanish Head, and lounged in the sunshine outside our clean house.  I think I'm going to like it here (I said that already, didn't I?).


Oh, I forgot to post our good-bye picture from Netarts Bay.  Our little "PC" Gnome says happy crabbing.
