What about that Yur

8/13/2010

We had the offer of a free yurt in a campsite at the coast for three nights.
Sounded good.
I asked, "Is there wi-fi?"
I was assured there was.
Ahhhhh....
Then I could update this website and learn to use my fancy DSLR camera by watching  youtube videos.
You guessed it.
No wi-fi.
I still had my iphone - but it is so not the same as my computer.
What does a yurt look like in a state park in Oregon?
Here is your tour:
Picture
Took these photos with my iphone on the day we were leaving - so the mess is ours and the yurt belongs to the state.
This was a handicap accessible yurt.
Has a nice little roof on the outside deck which was great for that August Oregon mist.
Picture
Inside is a painted plywood floor and a bunkbed with a double bed on the bottom and a single on the top.
On the right is a futon.
All the beds have a thin-ish vinyl covering.
Bring your own bedding.
Picture
A couple of plastic chairs are provided and there on the wall is a fire extinguisher and the rules:
No pets
No cooking
No smoking
On the deck is a picnic table and out in the campsite is another picnic table and a metal fire pit.
Picture
Each yurt has a skylight dome.
It is cool!
There is even a hook on a pole to open it up for fresh air.
The windows on the yurt are screened and can be rolled open and secured with velcro.
I looked at the website for Pacific Yurts who manufactured all these and the 16' yurts cost about $5300.00
Picture
Electric heater!
Two electrical outlets too.
Picture
A small wooden table and two wood chairs and a mirror and lights and a smoke detector.
Quite a lot going on in a small round space!

I took some photos of a rusting storage container near the Salvation Army store.
The store was over price.
But, hey - it is in a touristy town...
Picture
Picture
The next day at the beach I found some rock that reminded me of the rust!

The ocean was fabulous to watch.
The beaches were deserted.
In August.
Go figure.....

Not bad for iphone pics....
