Last Day In Coos Bay

We went North a few miles to Ten Mile Lakes. We looked around an RV Resort there. It's one of those membership or deeded lot places. The resort was OK but nothing special. The deeded lot area was way over crowded. Quite different from their webpages. A person would be better off just buying a house nearby. We did discover a nice county park next door. They're still finishing development but it will be nice.

We did the laundry near some nice shopping center in Coos Bay. We then dropped Dawn off in North Bend to look at the book stores there (three). Lou and I went to look at the local hardware and home improvement stores. At the first one, Dawn called and said she had meet the daughter of Lou's friend Connie there at the book store. Jessica is completing her bike ride back from Alaska. She and her friend stopped in for a cup of coffee at the bookstore. Odd where you meet friends


Our stay here at The Mill Casino has been a pleasant one. When we arrived, we checked on the price of the RV park. Since it was more than we wanted to pay, we asked about the free lot. The attendant said yes we could stay there for free. A couple of days later, we decided to move our RV to a different spot for a better view. A short time later a security guard on a bike came by. He mentioned that we needed to register in the office in order to stay here. So we did. Easy to do. After a couple of more days here we decided to stay another night. This time when we went in the office they mentioned that we could stay here for up to seven days in twenty-eight days. Interesting how the information trickles in. A good sign would seem beneficial. Anyway, another interesting thing to know if you plan to stay here in the free lot. You can dump in the RV park for about $10 but it only costs $1 at the city sanitary dump in downtown Coos Bay East of the visitor center across Northbound Hwy 101 less than a mile from the casino.

We head back South tomorrow morning.
