We topped off on fuel before leaving Florence this morning [ $ 1.71 just
couldn't pass that up ] The drive N was not a fun drive, high winds and
buckets of rain. At Lincoln City we got on 18 and headed for high ground
and some shelter. I thought we were back in Kansas where we lost a
windshield from high winds. So my co-pilot found another what[ casino]
and thats where we parked for the night, the last I saw of her was knee
deep in water heading towards the casino !!!!

Day 3 The Other Woman on the Move
This morning we left Coos Bay with some clouds but no rain.
Was a great drive up the Coast with little traffic. Arriving in
Florence mid afternoon at the Elks campgrounds along with the
rain. Having plenty of time to drive around and check out old
town seeing some of the little shops trying to pick out a living.
Rumors around town was a shrimp feast at the casino so we had
to check that out but I kept a close eye on my co-pilot...ha ha

Day 2 The other woman 0n the move
This morning we said our see you later to Tom & Karen as they are headed further
South and us West, but that damn magnet draw that seems to follow us, was drawing
me this time to the casino, but just for breakfast !!! while my co-pilot just had to spend
the rest of her CASINO bucks and you know what, those Indians bought me breakfast
and many-many more [happy face]
Leaving the casino we had to backtrack North to get on 42W which we had never
traveled before but was mostly a 2 lane up thru a wide open valley untill you reach the
summit and then changes to a number of narrow canyons twisting and turning following
different small rivers passing some old logging towns ready to give in to the test of
time, acouple old covered bridges that the STATE or residents tried to save.
As we got closer to the coast saw a number of old mills with a few still trying to hang
in there with the old log ponds and equipment to go with. By this time that magnet
draw had got a good hold on this old bus and pulled right into the Mill Casino in
Coos Bay.While I was plugging the bus in etc I was thinking about that prime rib
dinner on the flyer tonight so I headed back in the bus for my co-pilot to go check it
out,but only found a note with the word CASINO on it !!!!!!

Day 1 The other woman on the move
So, as most of you know the OtherWoman has been laid up for awhile
but had to stand in the corner most of the time after she let us down on
our last Calif trip !! After a pretty major operation and a few $$$$$$$$
she says she feels like a new WOMAN and wants to go !!!
Today we are headed south with one of our BUS NUT FRIENDS and
so far the [ new woman ] is doing good. Stopped at Colberg for lunch
and went over to a old bus restoration shop or lets say they look old
but late model running gear I think the newest bus was a 55 and they all
had big $$$$$ signs in and out .
Well most of you can guess the next stop headed S the damn Casino magnet
somehow got back in the bus and its pulling both of these buses right in.
Had a good visit with our friends at dinner in the morning we will split,
they are headed on to Yuma and we will head over to the coast and check
things out headed North .
Later
