DAY 20: Eugene, Or - Who Knows What "Dry Camping" Means???

Saturday, June 20: Junction City, Oregon

Well, today was a good ol' LONG day........we left our comfy campground in Kelso, Washington; said goodbye to our new friends & neighbors, and headed to Seaside, Oregon to see our dear friends, Travis and Jacquetta.  Travis is the brother to Chuck's & my longtime friend, Carla, and we hadn't seen them in ages.  After having a nice lunch and tour around town, as well as tour  of

their lovely home, we scooted out of town along the coast of Oregon.  

Wow!  If you've never seen the coast of Oregon, you will be pleasantly surprised!  It was drop dead gorgeous!  It would have been better on the motorcycle or in a car as opposed to 52' of motor home and trailer, but it was awesome!  

We then headed towards Junction City, Oregon as we have an appointment with the RV manufacturer on Monday to get to the bottom of why the rig is sporadically still not starting.  Chuck had spoken with them yesterday and they told him they had an RV park across the street from the dealer that we could stay in for free.  Well, anytime I hear "free", my mind starts wondering "why" and "whats the catch".  Chuck is much less skeptical than I, so he just assumed it was because they liked us.  Hummmmmm.....

It took us longer to get there than expected and we finally arrived at 10:0o pm.  We rarely ever get to a camp spot after dark and this one was very, VERY dark.  We noticed there were people there and we can hear generators running.........hummmmmmmmm......that can only mean one thing.  No Electricity.  No Water. No Sewer.  Folks, welcome to our first night "dry camping". 

Now, seeing as we came into the park in the wrong entrance, we are now backwards from everyone else, so we pull on around the corner and see a great place to park for the night.  We get out and notice we don't hear generators running or see any lights on in the RV's where we are now.  As we wandered around in the dark to help Murphy find a place to relieve himself, we determine that we are in the Sales Lot and not in the campground lot anymore.  Errrrrrrrrrr.... I have visions of them showing our RV in the morning while we're still in bed........but I ain't movin' it!!

Anyway, I'm tired, in bed right now and listening to Chuck and Murphy snore, so folks, if you'll excuse me, I'm shutting down for the day!  Good night!
