May 31-June 1st
– Oregon
Tues-
We started the generator so we could have coffee & be lazy before
going to the casino for breakfast. We spent some time gambling and
went back to the rig where I used the opportunity to defrost the
freezer before it was time for a drink. We caught the shuttle back
to the casino and had the driver drop us off at the buffet that she
recommended for dinner. It was excellent! We walked back through
the hotel/shops/casino and watched a young woman winning at a machine
that we had never tried. Terry said I had to try it and it ended up
being a good choice as I cashed out with $500! Yes, I was excited!
This was a penny machine (what we nearly always play) and I was
betting 38 cents, sometimes 88 cents.
Wed-
We had a short drive so we went for breakfast before pulling in the
slides and continuing east on Hwy 18 which took us to Salem. We
ended up at the Keizer (suburb of Salem) Elks RV park, found the host
and set up in a nice long pull-through. The park has 74 sites and
only a few vacancies. I had called a few days ago and they don't
take reservations so we were happy to get a spot. I had noticed a
taillight out on the truck and the weather was beautiful so we took
the motorcycle to a Fred Meyer store that we noticed on the way in.
They didn't have the bulb so we bought a few groceries and had the
cashier direct us to an automotive store. When we left there we
“took a long way” back – OK, we were slightly lost for a few
miles. Dee & Jan Lee (from VVV, live in Salem) phoned and we met
them at the Elks for a drink. One drink turned into more and by the
time we got back we didn't even have dinner before crashing.
