Travel from Eugene to South Beach, Oregon

We drove our coach just 90 miles, about two hours of driving, from Eugene, Oregon to South Beach, Oregon.

As mentioned last week, we had an appointment at Oregon Motorcoach Center for some servicing, so we drove from our overnight county park stay to the motorcoach center, and killed a few hours in their waiting room and going out to lunch, then we were on our way to our next stop, back at the coast.

Here’s the map route, heading north then west:

After our service appointment at Oregon Motorcoach Center, we headed north on 99W:

The Corvallis Meat Pie Shop, featuring Aussie-style meat pies; we enjoyed sampling their wares the last time we were in town. Alas, just passing through this time (and no parking for a 60-foot coach and toad!):

As is common with Thousand Trails, we parked our coach by the entrance, unhooked our truck, and drove around to find a suitable site (which was a major challenge here; see tomorrow’s post):

A very tight curve; this park isn’t particularly big rig friendly:
