Oregon summer trip (Day 15) - Florence to Eugene

7/31/11 (Sunday)

I woke up and went got our free coffee. I took a quick shower in the morning, while Tom took a bike ride to town to look for dump and water. Tom found a good place in the Port of Siuslaw just outside the RV park. It requested for $3 honor pay. We packed and hooked up the trailer, and drove to the parking lot next to the dock. Since a RV was dumping there when we arrived. Lawrence took shower first and then the cats. Tom set the craps trap in the river while we were having showers in the trailer on the parking lot. After the showers, we drove next to the dump station, dumped and filled up with water for Mel shower. Tom founded that there are free shower in the half public and half RV park rest room just a way outside the RV park. Mel started cooking lunch while Tom went to shower. I washed my dishes in the fish cleaning station. Tom did not catch any crabs since he was using the left over chicken already cooked. A family with 3 crab rings there caught about 3 keepers.

After dumped and refilled with water, we went to the library (open Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.). We parked on the street across the library. Next time we would park inside the library parking as they have a lot of empty spot and quite easy to get in and out. They didn't have a lot of DVD movies, but you could watch it since it was already in the box.

Tom drove to Eugene using 126 and arrived after 5 p.m. Only one tunnel and not as curvy as the Reedsport-Sutherland route. We parked and shopped at super Wally at the edge of the city. We also ran across the road to Target to check see they have and computer but they had none. We wanted to return the new Toshiba and buy the Acer. We end up buying a $398 Acer which was $50 more. We drove to the North parking area of the Valley River Mall . Registered with the security as he drove by. There is one other Class C near the corner of the lot.
