Glamping at Winchester Bay

Here's the link to a blog post showing our favorite place on the Oregon coast:

Doesn't look like the page is loading correctly. The little spinner thing just keeps spinning and there's only the one picture and comment.

Yeah, I get the same thing.

Dang it, I did a recent platform update and I need to check it our. Hopefully it will w0#k out because I have tons of pics of all the places we visited   

UPDATE:  Well, I don't know if it updated properly, but I'd appreciate it if you guys would try again just to see if it worked.

Sorry mate, the same thing is still happening - a continuous loading circle thingy which doesn't seem to progress. I let it go for a good ten minutes but nothing eventuated.

[Dweller_Benthos]

Yeah same here in two different browsers.

Well, that's certainly a both - thanks for trying though.  I'd like to try one more thing, a direct link to the photo album so maybe I can isolate the issue. It might even be a cache issue either on server, Cloudflare, or browser end.

The photo album link works fine, beautiful place, I can see why you like going there.

[PZ]

Thanks D_B; it's definitely worth visiting as often as I can

The album opened up for me fine and I can see why you enjoy return trips to this spot so much. 

I keep trying to remember to send you the link for the bio-toxin beach closure updates for the Washington but it looks like maps for Oregon coast line would be more useful.  So if you ever decide to stick a shovel in the sand I'll drop this here.

I tried to cut off the https but then it refused to show as a link.

Very helpful map mandru, and thanks for posting! I've not seen anything like this and in fact, did not even know something like a clamming map existed. In my browser I've created a bookmark folder specifically for RV-ing and several subfolders, including one for maps so I never forget where to find things.

I noticed a notice about razor clams, which brought back a memory of the first time I ever had them. It was on the Oregon coast in a small town more than a decade ago. Unfortunately I cannot remember which town, and cannot recall the name of the restaurant either other than it was right on the edge of the docks.

I don't know if this was just BS, but I ordered razor clam "steak" which was breaded and quite large - almost the size of my hand. It was delicious and had the texture of abalone, and the reason I do not know if it was BS is that I have never had anything like it since.

PS: thanks for confirming that the album is working!

The new link worked PZ, I finally got to look at your pics, which are excellent. That's a lovely looking spot, I can almost smell the sea air! Looks like a really nice place to kick back and unwind

Thanks for checking and getting back to me with your results fragger!

Yes, it is a wonderful place to relax. Half the days are excellent so you can go out and explore, and the other half is rainy so you can cozy down with a good book or watch Hallmark movies
