RV Adventure Days 87-89
We are stuck in beautiful Oregon, unable to get home! We are about  40 miles from Eugene where the snow and ice begin. Since we don't have chains and my masters don't want to drive the Beast over bad roads, here we sit.


Today, Saturday, we went to an historic town called Oakland (still Oregon). My masters' friends on Orcas Island lived there for over 30 years and we got to hear about all the history of this unique town from the late 1880's. We met their friend, Bill Stearns, whose family has been running the hardware store since 1887. We also meet two other folks who remembered Marlyn and Don. It was really a fun afternoon, even though it rained like cats and dogs. By the way, where did that dumb expression ever come from?


My masters went to the Museum in Oakland and said it was one of the best they had seen. They even met the mayor of this town of about 850 people. They had lunch at Tolly's which is a beautiful restaurant and then we drove around looking at the houses. 




This house is for sale for only $264,000. Want to live in Oakland, Oregon?
