Valley River Center, Eugene, Oregon

Eugene Oregon Valley River Center Campsite Eugene Oregon Williamette River Walk
Sunday: (10/30)The rain increased as we departed Florence. The drive to Eugene was nice as the rain decreased on the way. When we got to Eugene I needed a nap. Lou checked out  the stores nearby as I recharged. Then we moved to our camp for the night at the Valley River Center shopping mall. They allow up to two nights if you register with security. Lou and I took a walk along the river park paths by our parking spot at the mall. Dinner was cold cuts, cheese and crackers. Above is our "campsite" on the left and the Williamette River by the campsite on the right.

Monday: (10/31) PBJ English muffins for breakfast. I called the Motosat repair technician but somehow we never connected today as arranged last Wednesday. It doesn't appear like we'll get together so I'll just fix the dish when we get home. The weather was nice most of the day with some sunshine. Lou and I spent the day visiting thrift stores. We also stopped by the Post Office to get stamps and mail a passel of letters. Olive loaf sandwiches for lunch. Tomorrow we'll be off heading South toward Reedsport. I had a hamburger for dinner and Lou had a chef's salad.

Tuesday: (11/01) A foggy morning. Lou made Don McMuffins for breakfast. We had a few errands to run this morning before we hit the road. Since I didn't get the Motosat dish fixed here, I stopped at the local Goodwill computer store and bought a couple of used Hughesnet modems. There's only a slight chance they will work but they were next to free and mine existing modem is likely bad. With our errands done we hit the highway, I5 South to Highway 38 through Drain to Reedsport. We stopped at a bakery in reedsport abd bouth some bread and rolls, and a donut. We walked around looking at a few shops as well. Continuing South on Highway 101 we checked out a couple of campgrounds before stopping in North Bend at the Mill Casino.
