55 miles into Eugene Premier RV Resort, Eugene, Oregon
We are definitely over the mountains and headed for the coast. Today was the first cloudy day we have had in weeks and the temperatures were only in the 60’s. We rode along the McKenzie River and the area has some beautiful river-front homes. The gardens are stunning and the flowers clearly benefit from the cool, moist weather. Dan and Margi were happy for the cooler weather since they don’t see temperatures much above the 80’s in Fairbanks. We rode by several orchards, but couldn’t identify the crops. The trees were quite large with no sign of fruit. As it turns out, they are hazelnut orchards. I always thought hazelnuts grew on shrubs, but the plants can be cultivated as large trees. I took very few pictures today because the shoulder was very narrow for most of the ride.
Judy and John arrive tomorrow and Dan and Margi asked the rental company if they could upgrade to a larger car. The company has an Excursion in their inventory, but it is unavailable this week because Michelle Obama is using it to visit her brother in Corvalis. Guess I can’t escape the “Washington” corridor.
