Crazy Man's AR-TORT! -ish (Awesome Round-Trip Oregon Road Trip! -ish) : Day 6.1 - Wednesday Aug 9 - 2nd to Last Day in Eugene

TODAY'S ADVENTURE started as many others do, waking up, getting breakfast (eggs, oatmeal with raisins, banana and milk). I was ready to help as needed to get them off tomorrow to Elk Lake, then I would join them on Friday, borrowing their car to make the 2 1/2 - 3 hr trek. Around 11 AM PT I was conversing with the Matriarch of my immediate family and she pointed out there was a $5 a day cost for the car at the campsite. I was going to leave it there for Madre to drive it back but with this revelation I quickly calculated in my computer-like brain that it was going to be over $50 to leave it there, esp since I would not be there. I agreed to her demands (OK, not demands, suggestion) and pouted for a while (not really) because I was going to take Thursday to get other things I needed and just have a day to myself.

Soooo... We (Journey and I) helped with the RV...

Rub a Dub Dub

Spic and Span

Got a shower along the way

Moved the RV out to the road

This is where we will stay...

Lord willing and the creek don't rise,

and if spot #9 is available :-)

AT ABOUT 3 PM I realized I could sorta do a "day by myself" today, but it was going to be condensed... So I planned it out and around 6 PM I headed out on my mini adventure...

--Had to stop at the Oregon Duck Store again... Picked up some goodies...

This one was requested by McGruff...

U of O is well known for RACK & FIE!

Eugene is known as "RACK TOW USA!

Relatives Unite!

Team Spirit

Yay Duck Store!!!

--Now travelling through the mall...

Friends, Romans, Countrymen,

lend me The Force.

Is one mannequin embarrassed, leaving,

or just showing off her... calves?

Ahhh, poor thing, she's being replaced...

...by a squatting male.

Boy those new ones are so life-like.

AFTER LEAVING the mall I saw that white trash exist everywhere...

See the squirrel?

Hint... It won't get wet on a rainy day.

NOW TIME to visit the ol' stomping grounds...

--Sy's NY Pizza!! Across the street from Northwest Christian College (now University) where I attended for a year or so...
