May 27-30th - Florence & north

May 27-30th – Florence & north
Fri – Oh, oh – got too far behind again and can't remember the bits & pieces of everyday life on the road! Obviously I spent time updating the blog in the morning and I definitely know that we went to a dance at the Elks club and had a great time. It is so fun to dance again. There wasn't a huge crowd so we could get a small area for line dancing. The first dance was Mustang Sally and the line dance group from the Elks immediately got out and we joined them. Love it!!
Sat – Another uneventful but beautifully sunny day. After a typically lazy morning we took the bike to the casino again. Good thing we are not losing bunches each day!
Sun – Lovely day again so we went to old town. We shifted the metal art over the main door so now we need something to put on the wall beside it. The town was busy but we managed to find a parking spot beside some other bikes on the main street. After browsing through many stores we found another piece of metal art that we could carry on the bike. We stopped at a few stores looking for a mirror and got already cooked ribs for dinner so I just had to add a salad. Our ribs are much better!!
Mon – When we were getting ready to leave, a lady with a couple of grandchildren were walking their dog and the young boy was inspecting the motorcycle which Terry had moved closer to their site. We had to move to dump the tanks and planned to load the bike then so I suggested to the lady that she bring the grandson over to watch the process. The whole family (grandma, grampa, dad & kids) enjoyed seeing the process and we ended up telling them about VVV and giving them a brochure for the fall special. We headed north on 101 with Lincoln City as a possible/probable destination. Lots of Memorial Day traffic especially in Depot Bay and then even worse in Lincoln City. Stop & go from south edge all the way to the turn off to Hwy 18 as by then we decided to go to Spirit Mountain casino and stay in their huge RV parking area for the night. It took an hour & 15 minutes to go 27 miles. We had a late lunch at the casino and returned to the rig after 6 in time for a drink and a late dinner.
