09/10AUG2018 - Astoria, OR (fishing w/Dick & Stumpy)

From Dan Ryan - Below details of the last time I saw Dick, are from Corrie & I's BLOG that we started back in 2007 w/our full time RV'ing, but now details our non RV'ing activities:

"So from the CG Day picnic Dan started the 3.5 hour drive to Astoria, OR, while Corrie took the grandkids back to our house.  Thanks to weekend traffic & I-5 construction, the drive took six hours.  Dan eventually meets up w/his friends (Dick Lang & Jim Garrett) at Dick’s warehouse/boat storage in Hammond, OR.  One reason that Dan decided to meet them even though the RV issue is important; is that Jim Garrett has just completed riding his bicycle from Kansas to Astoria (about 2000 miles & two months)!!!  And on Sunday he gets back on his bike to ride home to San Francisco, CA."

"Saturday we had a great fishing day, even w/no luck.  Luckily Dick had set two crab pots the day before & we harvested a dozen Dungeness.  That evening was an excellent crab & salmon dinner w/Dick’s wife, Betsy, & friends at their house in the Lewis & Clark forest area.  Sunday Dan was up early (5AM), on the road, & back in Sultan, WA, at 0915."

26JUN2018 - Astoria, OR (visit w/Mike Prince & Toni)

From Mike Prince - My girlfriend Toni and I stopped on our Pacific Northwest road trip for a couple of days in Astoria and spent a day (June 26, 2018) with Dick exploring Fort Stevens, Astoria, the Maritime Museum, the Astoria Column, ending the day with a nice dinner at one of his favorite restaurants, T Paul’s Supper Club.   We also toured his warehouse and boat rinse business in its final stages before getting a permit to operate.  Here are a few pictures.

Regards, Mike
