We were home for a week doing stuff and now it's time to travel. We head South on I-5 and stop in Eugene to check out the Elks. The weather was warm and since we don't have AC in Wilbur we are not sure how long we will stay here. Since we enjoy checking out little shops we do that for awhile. The life in Eugene is fine for a Motorhome from the 70's. Most of Eugene is stuck in the 70's. You can find recycled hippies everywhere, not that it's a bad thing. So for the night we park in the Elks parking lot away from the building in hopes that there will be a breeze to cool us off only to find they are doing some road work at night on the street. Jackhammers do make noise at night. Anyway we stayed all night. Since we have WIFI we watched some movies and old TV showes on HULU.

Before leaving town we checked out some more little shops but as the weather warmed up we headed West. In Florence, OR we stop at the Casino for a $7.77 buffet lunch. Parked by the beach for a nap and some walks in Old Town before staying at the Elks for the night.

This Friday the 13th is my brothers birthday and he and his wife are driving to the coast for the day. We meet up with them and spend the day around town. Back at the Elks there is dancing so you know where we are. Sophie likes to dance but there is dance floor room because several line dancers.

There is an Elvis tribute/sale in town. Not really a big deal but we went. Had more fun at the local roadside Saturday market thing. Bought some fresh veggies and fruit. A slow relaxing day.

Sunday morning I walk to Safeway for a newspaper. I am not sure how the day can just go by so fast but we do enjoy taking walks and watching people. Down in Old Town there is a market setup with several tents both Saturday and Sunday. Lots to look at. We go back to the Elks for another night. It's quiet and in town so we can walk places.

We fill up with gas at Safeway in Florence. This seems to be the cheapest place in all of Oregon and always try to time it when the tanks are empty. $100 is a good start. Heading North we stop at Heceta Head lighthouse, even take the full tour of the lighthouse. As we get to Newport we dump the tanks and drive by the Elks to find the RV lot full. This is something we hardly ever see, no room for us. On the Lincoln City we stop by the casino and see the upper lot with plenty of RV's so we plan to stay there tonight and we drive to Roads End S.Park to watch the sunset then drive back to the casino for the night.

Something we like to do in Lincoln City is to drive to Roads End S.P. for B'fast when staying at the casino for the night so we do that. Some surfers are in the water and that is a good B'fast show.
After some time we head towards home.
