Outhouse at Winery

Vineyards

Got up and headed out to explore the area.   The first place we stopped was at Reustle Prayer Rock Vineyards http://www.reustlevineyards.com/.   I was told about this winery at the office so we decided to stop.    It was not open but we were able to view the grounds, which were stunning.   It was fun to look at the vines and see the various types of grapes they grow.   They only make two sweet ones, Riesling & Muscat.   We may return around 3, if I decide to try them.   Heard they are wonderful.

Riversdale Valley Farm

One of many areas we explored

Next stop was Riversdale Valley Farms.  It's a very unusual place, very similar to what you see on American Pickers, and no they are not a true business, although they do sell stuff.   John, the owner is full of stories and know exactly what's for sale and what's not.   He and his wife run this place and have created the unique barns that display their items.   We had lots of fun listening to John, exploring the barns and looking at all the items.   You are allowed to take tons of pics.   We did not purchase anything, but if I still lived in Oregon, I would have bought several things to plant flowers in.   Just think the water in Havasu would eat thru the metal & wood.

Old town Roseburg was our next stop.  It's home to Umpqua Ice Cream, but they don't allow tours...drats!   We stopped for lunch and then came home, where Bobby did the laundry.   Tomorrow we head to Grants Pass to get alignment done and then onto Brookings.

View from our RV park in Harrisburg, OR

Got up around 6:30, as Bobby wanted me to see the sunrise, there's so much smoke in the air that the sun is a brilliant orange ball.   Beautiful but sad that the NW is burning up!

Took the coach in to Elite Coach Renovations at 8:00 AM so they could adjust the lock on the door.   We left so they could work on it without us being in the way and headed to Fiddlers Golf Course to play the par 3 course.   Met another couple (Linda & Rob) who we played the nine holes with.  Had a great time.    I shot 5 over par, Bobby shot 3 over.

Had tacos with them afterwards and then headed to the coach, it cost us $69.50 to get it fixed but it works like a charm!!!

Left Eugene around 12:00 and headed to Sutherlin, where we'll spend the next two nights at Umpqua RV Resort.   We are all hooked up and will try and cool down, extremely hot today...100.   One nice thing, we can see the golf course from our park....will check it out later.
