Travels: Rogue River, OR to Eugene, OR – 160 miles(995 total miles) Accommodations: Armitage County Park; full hookups
Mason woke up with no fever, which was welcome. We had a leisurely morning eating breakfast, scootering, Dave did some work, etc. Then, we loaded up and headed out to Eugene – an easy three hour drive. Still more green and trees and some good steep hill climbs making us more glad we had the truck instead of the Suburban! We got to Eugene and heard out about the Armitage County Park where we decided to camp. I cannot say enough good things about Armitage – $25 a night for full hook-ups, spacious sites backed up to a huge green grass area, set along the McKenzie River, close to everything in Eugene, great for kids, quiet, amazing, plenty of space to scooter, a wonderful little loop to jog, and helpful camp host (he brought Ranger tattoos, a “Kids at Play†cone, great conversation, free firewood – even some tools and a hand with a minor trailer repair).
I cannot say enough about Armitage, but the greatest part about Eugene was catching up with some old friends – Chris and Kristin Daradics. We hadn’t seen them for 5 years – crazy how time flies! We enjoyed a yummy dinner at McMenamins, frozen yogurt, and great conversation.
Kids: Marin prays, “Thank you truck, God, day. Amen.â€
