We left the rally after a lot of hugs & handshakes. We had a wonderful time and met a lot of great people. We hope we can attend the next rally in September at 7 Feathers RV Resort. You can read our review of the RV park here.
We had an appointment with Coach Glass to have our windshield replaced. We anticipated spending most of the day in Eugene as the glass has to set for four hours before the MoHo could be moved to prevent future leaks. So we went over to Valley River Center to do some sales tax free shopping. We used to shop here when we lived in Albany. While we were there I received a phone call from the installers. It seems when we had the windshield when we first got the coach, they used silicon to stop some leaks. That is a no-no, as it affects the gasket that the windshield sits in. That meant that the gasket has to be replaced for another $500, and the MoHo couldn’t be moved for 24 hours. Luckily, we were able to stay in the coach overnight where the work was being done, and we even had power so that we didn’t have to run the generator.
We left the next afternoon and we didn’t have plans on where to stay. We knew we wanted to visit the coast so we headed to Florence, which is directly west of Eugene. When we got there, we checked out the local casino, Three Rivers.
It used to be in a tent, and now it’s a first rate facility. As you can see the weather improved as we drove to the coast, so we decided to go further south. Our good friend Maggie gave us a certificate for a free night at the Mill Casino in Coos Bay so we stopped there for two nights. They have a vacant area in their parking lot for boondocking, and a nice RV park overlooking the bay. We had a bay view site, here’s the scene from our new front windshield.
After dinner I decided to head towards the coast to try to photograph a nice sunset. I got some nice pictures, but the sunset wasn’t that great. First I stopped in Charleston where all the boats moored near the ocean.
The area doesn’t look to prosperous, the restaurant is closed along with the tackle shop. I don’t know if it’s because of the recession, or poor fishing conditions.
Here’s a few of the photos I took at some of the state parks right on the ocean.
And there’s a lighthouse there where there’s no public access. This is as close as I could get to it.
It was fun exploring a new to me area of the Oregon Coast. Every area is beautiful.
