Back in Coos Bay

Okay, we've had the family reunion, everything went well. We stopped at the new Monaco RV LLC by Navistar facility which is the same facility that Monaco used to have, with the same people, all the same except now they have no liability for any of the old Monaco product or people. Neat trick that bankruptcy gives them. Our first experience with the new company did not go well. On a bill of only $21.80 for a minor adjustment of the awning they tried to tack on $10.00 (almost 50%) to the bill for "hazardous material disposal". After arguing like crazy we finally convinced them to take it off the bill. Man it's tough dealing with pompous asses afflicted with a bad case of idiocy!!!

Now we are back in Coos Bay waiting for parts to fix the slide out awning. They were supposed to be here yesterday but did not show and are still not here on Friday, oh well, maybe Monday. LOL.

Off we go

After ruining a day and a half, and pissing away over $1300.00, we are off again. Only temporarily though as the repair facility has had to order some parts and we will have to return next week to get the motorhome fixed. We are at the family reunion site and await the arrival of the rest of the family. This park seems to be really nice and should make for a great reunion location.

Another Monaco Day

Yup, this Monaco product broke again. This time the awning over the slide out has broken and is jamming up the slide out. It's taking us a day and half to find out the problem, now we'll order parts and come back later to get it fixed. Monaco makes junk!!!

Day Two

Traveled to Gold Beach, Oregon. Found a campground just a little north, kinda rustic. Went to the county fair, a really small one, walked around then headed for dinner at the Port Hole. We've eaten there in the past and as usual, excellent food. They had fresh Ling Cod, it was great. We'll spend an extra day here and head out tomorrow.

Day One

Today is day one of our trip to the family reunion. Met up with Cuzn Helen and Bob on US101 and traveled to Eureka. Evening meal we all headed over to the Samoa Cookhouse. Later while sitting around visiting we got a call from Cindy and Ron, they live just a short distance away and drove over with her son Curtis for a nice visit.

Odds and Ends Day

Today is the tie up the odds and ends day. Gettin ready for the trek north. Gonna travel the coastal route so it should be a lot of interesting stuff to see. First time traveling with Cuzn Helen too.

A new adventure

Okay, here we go, kinda back to normal. Can you guess where we are. Hints are, on the left coast, near a man-made lake, and it's been hot while here and now just warm. This is the spot where a couple of years ago we had two blow-outs at once, do you remember that?
