Wednesday, October 30, 2013 (Travel to Guaranty RV, Junction City, OR)

It was a cold, frosty start to the day this morning with a few clouds...making for a lovely pink sky as the sun came up...

The thermometer registered a very chilly 32F/0C when Steve headed outside to start his pack up...brrr! It was 9:00 a.m. when we pulled out of our site and said goodbye to the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum.  We had enjoyed our week but were glad to be back on the road.

We took highway 99W that goes straight south...we are headed for Guaranty RV in Junction City to have our annual brake and bearing inspection and the new wheels and tires installed on the trailer.  It was an absolutely beautiful drive.

We passed vineyard after vineyard along with a few orchards and even a lavender farm. The fall colors are spectacular...

The highway took us through the city of Corvallis...

 This is their Civic Center...

 ...and County Court House...

We arrived at Guaranty RV at about 11:00.  The overnight camping/storage area was pretty full but we managed to get a spot in the back corner. We leveled off, unhitched, put the sliders out and I did a minimal setup inside while Steve "plugged" us in...50 amp power...nice!

We walked over to the service department to let John, our service rep, know that we were here but he wasn't in today. We were mainly wanting to confirm that our wheels and tires had arrived from Trailer Tires and Wheels.  The fellow covering for John today wasn't available so we said that we would pop in later this afternoon.

Shopping was on the agenda for this afternoon, so we headed off towards Eugene/Springfield...our first stop was Costco. After stocking up there, we headed to Steve's favourite store...Cabela's.  We were both after new footwear and thought that Cabela's might be a good place for Keen's. We had heard about them from another couple who really liked them and thought we'd like to give them a try. Unfortunately, Cabela's really didn't have much of a selection. The sales rep suggested that we try Dick's Sporting Goods...so we headed there.

Steve managed to get a pair of Keen's trail shoes but they didn't have my size in the pair I wanted, so I ended up with a pair of good running shoes...which makes sense because I already have a pair of hiking boots.

It was almost 4:30 by the time we got back to the trailer. Steve went right over to the service department while I unloaded and put away our groceries. Steve was soon back with the news that our wheels and tires had arrived from Trailer Tires and Wheels. He grabbed the camera and went back out to take this picture of a motorhome just down from us. Ouch! I hope no one was hurt in this accident...

Time to sit outside and enjoy the late afternoon sunshine...
