Whatcha been doin? (Part2)

OREGON

Eventually we wanted to end up in San Antonio, Texas for the winter and after a short visit with friends in Montana we head west for another side trip to Oregon for a client photoshoot. This was supposed to be a 3 day photoshoot and then down the road. However, we encountered our first real trailer problem here and ended up staying 3 weeks. Our axles were out of alignment and caused some severe tire damage. As it turns out, not just anybody can align trailer axles so it took some time to locate a fairly close specialist and get things going straight again.

We stayed at a Casino Resort (Seven Feathers). The campground was fantastic. One of the best we've spent time in so far. The campground was up the hill and separate from the Casino, but had a free shuttle that picked us up at our door when we wanted to try our luck at the tables. We checked out a couple of surprisingly good shows, danced, played some bingo and a few slots.

We were very excited to spend some time near the ocean, so took a 2 hour drive to Coos Bay! We walked miles along the beach and searched for shells.

 On our way out of Coos Bay, we happened upon these posters in the window of one of the town shops. We missed this zombie bash by a couple days! We were bummed...evidently they have a zombie beauty pageant and zombie parade. Already on our calendar for next year : ) 

 We spent some time riding around on our scooter, checked out a Harley Poker Run and Bike Show. (Yes we rode up proudly in our scooter : ). We also went to an Autumn Festival in a small local town. We listened to some story telling, took in a unique scare crow competition and watched them weigh in some HUGE pumpkins. This pumpkin competition is a big deal. The weights get entered into a national competition for biggest pumpkin bragging rights.

Up next we head to Tucson, Arizona!
