May Camping Trip - 1

This was our first "beach" camping trip of the year. It also ended up be a special trip, as we had several surprises while camping at South Beach State Park in Newport, OR. We ended up being very close to NuWa Owners Forum Members Jo Ann & Wayne (w/j miller), who were staying at the Whalers Rest RV Park 4 miles away. So Karen and I set off to meet them. It was like we've known them for years.

After our visit with Jo Ann & Wayne, when we returned back to our camping site, there was another NuWa HitchHiker parked beside us. It ended up being Forum Members Bill & Elysa (Wally2), who were on their way heading up to Alaska.

Later on that afternoon, another NuWa HitchHiker Trailer arrived (Carl & Eleanor from Kansas - Non Members), and ended up parking next to Bill & Elysa. Wow! With all these HitchHikers camping next to each other, you'd think we were having a Rally... so that's what we decided to do! We all piched in, and contributed food for an outside potluck "get-together" that evening. The food, wine, and deserts were outstanding... but the company was awesome!

A fun time was had by all... and it was sad to see everyone leave over the following days as we returned home, or continued onward with our adventures down the road.
