Re: Anybody know about Gold Beach, OR?

Uh, not a motor home, Kathy, a mobile home. Probably a small one at first.
I think I have mentioned that I habve bought and sold several of them here
and am making bundles of money on them. (So the finance guy says - I don't
see much, but am paying down the debt fairly quickly.)

Anygow, I think I will make a quick trip in a couple of weeks and wanted
some ideas aboutr the area from people in the know.

I'm now not certain where we went over to I5, but the drive was through some
ki9nd of beautiful mountains.

Well, the Rogue is absolutely beautiful, and the drive over to Grants
Pass.... wow. You would also be very near the redwoods. Beautiful
country. I'm not sure about a motor home on the beach, though. I stayed in
one once and I *really* thought it was going to blow away during the
night. Didn't sleep a wink as I was planning an escape route. Next day I
commented on it to the motel owner (thinking it would probably make
national news) and he said, "Oh, yeah, I guess it did blow a bit last
night." Huh? Ocean view would be an absolute must for me. I love the
storms and the "bad" weather, but only if I can see the ocean. Otherwise
it's just bad weather.

Thanks for the info, Kathy!

Reason for picking Gold Beach? Beats me - I think it was near something
I saw on the Rogue Rive. I fell in love with the Oregon coastline when
we drove there a couple of summers ago. We didn't go to any beaches at
that time, thoughf (dammit)

I am mad at the dingbat right now, so will probably go out there by
myself to look things over. Basic idea is to buy a used MH like I do
here, but for myself. I saw one online in Gold Beach that looked fairly
good - with an ocean view. That is what I want, in addition to being
able to breath better.

Other ideas, towns, places to see, and people to do will be greatly
depreciated.

Neal,
I know Gold Beach. I'm not sure it is the prettiest beach in Oregon,
(though I love all coastal towns) and it's a long trip to "the valley"
to a larger town (Grants Pass, Medford, Ashland). Brookings, just a
little south of Gold Beach is called "the banana belt" of Oregon in that
it typically has good (better) weather than the other coastal towns.
Have you ever lived in a coastal town? I'm not sure you would tolerate
the weather on the Oregon coast, especially having come from hot and dry
(assuming you like the climate in NM). Maybe you saw the Oregon coast
during the summer, and it was good weather. When it's beautiful, it's
BEAUTIFUL, but most of the year it is rainy, cold, and foggy. That's why
I've often told Judity that she should move to the Oregon coast. She
would love the weather.

Also, the shopping is.... "small town". Very small town. A few of the
mid and northern coastal towns have grown tremendously over the last 10
years and have most chain stores, but Gold Beach... I'm not sure.
Haven't been there for a few years.

Is there a particular reason you picked Gold Beach? Or the Oregon coast
in general?

Thinking about moving to a lower altitude.

Thanks,
