Fairview, OR

Today we move from Rockaway Beach, OR to Fairview, OR.  Fairview is part of the Portland Metroplex.

It was a foggy drive until we got a ways inland.  It was clear and hot in Fairview.  I did not take any pictures along the drive.  We arrived and got setup by about 1:30pm.

We have a nice long pull-thru. There is a small parking pad for the Jeep also.  We can barely get out of the Jeep because the driver's door is next to the bedroom slideout.  As you can see, we can open our awning, but sites are tight. With a Good Sam discount plus taxes, this cost us $44 per night.

After lunch we went to Home Depot, then did our grocery shopping. Tic is designing a new light to illuminate our American Flag at night.

Look, he did a great job.  This light is much brighter than the solar light we were using.

Dusty saw there was a Recycle Festival in Vancouver, WA this weekend, so we went.

The festival is at the Ester Short Park, which is the first public park in the Pacific Northwest established in 1853.

This is a small part of the tents and crowds.  It took us about 2.5 hours to walk through it.

This is one of the more unique pieces of art.  

 I like this turtle.  I might need one if I ever have a yard again.

This is made from pieces of drift wood.  Talented!!

There were things made from aluminum can tabs, purses crocheted from plastic bags, lots of broken glass crafts and much more.

There was a pretty little rose garden at the park.  I had to get my flowers in this post.

The park is in a historic part of town.  Most of the street lights had baskets of flowers hanging on them.  Tic likes this touch and wishes Weatherford, TX would do this on the square.

This is the town clock.  It happens to sit on one corner of the park.

We did not find anything we absolutely needed.  It was hot today and we had all the heat we wanted.  We headed home.

We have enough clouds for a beautiful sunset tonight. 

We even got to see the moon.  What a beautiful evening!
