A Relaxing Afternoon And Evening At Seven Feathers

We arrived at the beautiful Seven Feathers RV Resort in Canyonville, OR at 2:30pm on Thursday.  It was nice and early just as we like it when staying here. We left the Midway RV Park at 8am and had a real nice drive down I-5 and when we arrived at our destination it was a nice, warm 60F.  We just rolled onto our concrete, flat-level site and again I never even had to unhitch for the night.  Pretty nice!

Before dinner, I went to the spa for a swim and some hot tub timeIMG_3649

It was an uneventful day which is a bonus when travelling as far as I’m concerned. We rolled right through downtown Portland and over the neat bridges, which I love, and the traffic was pretty light at 11am.  We were out of the city in no time and soon back on I-5 making good time.

Although I’d describe the day as uneventful that’s not how Paulette saw it as she was anxiously looking forward to her first Quilt Shop visit of this trip.  We stopped in Springfield, near Eugene, OR, so she could check out “Something To Crow About” a shop she discovered a few years ago.  I managed to wrestle the truck and 5’er into the not so big parking lot and find a place to park.  Although Paulette said there were no great sales on she did manage to drop a few American dollars there!

At 2:30pm the east section was nearly empty – not so at 7:30pmIMG_3662

When we got all setup at our site, we decided to take Rylie for a nice, long walk. There’s a pretty good grocery store that’s part of the big truck stop here. It was a beautiful afternoon for a walk and we really enjoyed it after being kind of cooped up in the truck for a few days. When we walked past the east section of the RV park we noticed it was almost empty but it was still early.  Later on, I walked over to the clubhouse and the spots had mostly filled up which is pretty normal for here.

Trucks were lined up to use these 8 diesel pumps at 7 FeathersIMG_3653

I’d sure love to know how many gallons of diesel Seven Feathers pumps in a day. While Paulette was in the store, I watched the big rigs pull up one after another to fill up with diesel. As soon as one pulled out another pulled in. It was non-stop.  They must have gigantic holding tanks in the ground as I saw 3 or 4 big tankers standing by ready to fill up the underground tanks.

A free podcast series from iTunesSerial-2

Before we left home, I’d been reading a lot on a few websites about a free iTunes podcast called Serial. Apparently, since it launched its 12 episodes in October it has become the highest downloaded podcast in history. We’ve passed the time while driving listening to it from my iPhone broadcast through our truck radio. It’s a great broadcast, we’ve listened to 6 one hour episodes already and will no doubt finish it before we get to Palm Springs. It’s a true murder mystery but you can check it our for yourselves if you’re interested.

Thanks for visiting!
