Oregon summer trip (Day 13) - Coos Bay to Florence

7/29/11 (Friday)

Went to the Mill Casino, both lost 2 dollars. Mel could have won 33 cents if she stopped in time. Lawrence and I both took a quick shower, I went to the rest room next to the registration office to blow dry my hair. After we hooked up our trailer, Tom drove next to the full hook up site to fill up the water and dumped the 2 tanks. Next Tom drove to the 76 gas station a little back across the road to fill up the gas at $3.67/gallon. Then we went to Salmon Bay to walk around the camping pier we used to camp. The price was the same $11 next to the bathroom. But higher at the end of the wing ($18) with double wide parking, $14 on the two side. We parked at the end of the pier and cooked pork chop and corn. Then we dumped the tanks again. I cleaned up my dishes on the back side of the bathroom since they had hot and cold water. Coos Bay was very windy just like last time we were here.

On the way to Florence we stopped by Cash King and Safeway in Reedsport. Then we drove 20 miles to Florence to spend a few nights at the Three River Casino.







We parked at a corner spot and I saw a faucet on that corner of the RV parking which could be used to fill the trailer. We went in and registered for two nights (you can stay for 7 days). Also we got player club card with $10 free play each (still wondered how it work). We had to put $1 dollar to start the card. We both lost a dollar each. Tom and I went back to our truck and drove to Fred Meyer. We noticed that this Friday & Saturday they had Doorbuster Deals (a lot of items was 20% - 50% off). Then we went to Safeway and found the smaller round French roll which was crusty enough for $2.99 (Sandwich Roll $3.49 which sold out). We bought one bag of French Roll and Mustard Potato Salad (3 lbs for $2.99). By the time we drove back to our trailer it was past 9:00 p.m. I started making dinner, but I forgot to pull out the N.Y. steak from the fridge earlier. So we started eating the potato salad first and then French roll. I got water from the outside faucet to cook our corn.
