We all slept in this morning. At
around 10am Wilma fixed a breakfast of omelets and scones. After things were cleaned up we headed for
Seaside and the car show. There were
some 1300 to 1500 cars registered for the show. As usual, we saw some really neat cars and
trucks.
One of the custom trucks was a
one ton with a Rollfast bicycle tied down of the flat bed.
There were cars from Arizona, California,
Colorado, Washington and lots from Oregon.
There was even one from Alberta, Canada.
We walked around for a couple of hours
looking at all the neat cars.
Lots of
bucks tied up in them.
There were a
couple of cars for sale for $42,000 to $48,000.
Seaside closes off several blocks of the
downtown area to traffic and just has the show cars parked along the street and
in a downtown parking lot.
They really
go all out for the weekend.

We came back up and were going to the Petie I. When we turned into the access road which is
about ¼ mile long it was jammed with cars.
There were cars parked along the side of the road about half the way to
the main road. We just happened to be
there at the start of the “Run to the Bar” which starts at the Petie I and goes
to the south jetty of the Columbia River and back to the Petie I. We were able to drive in and turn around
without getting stuck in traffic.
We
drove out to the south jetty and went up the observation tower, took a few
pictures then drove out to the overlook on the river near the Hammond boat
harbor to watch 2 freighters come in.
It
was getting to be almost dark and we saw a small Coastguard boat, with a 5 man
crew, towing in a
fishing boat with 3 fishermen in it.

We headed back to Kampers West and settled
in for the night.
