Saturday Evening And We Made It To...........

Three Rivers Casino in Florence, OR. Was going to go back to Vancouver with Dug, Tami and kids; but figured I'd let them get their toys cleaned up and put away and we would pull in tomorrow and do the same.


Yesterday was "play in the sand briefly" and then the big event was the Seafood Buffet at the Mill Casino. I've been to sea food buffets at casinos from Marysville, WA to Yuma, AZ..........I'd estimate a dozen or so and the Mill Casino in Coos Bay is positively the BEST!! Fresh dungeness crab, prime rib, scallops, shrimp, crab cakes, fried chicken, etc., etc., etc., and an array of desserts that would boogle your mind. We walked in and waddled out. Then some gambling and more gambling. I walked into the casino and in 10 minutes I was cashing in $75.00. After dinner I gave it all back, plus some. Easy come easy go!

Becky checked the weather report for today and it said 70% chance of rain..........which usually means it will rain 70% of the time. When we got back to camp we scurried around, loaded up the trailer, motorhome and Jeep so we wouldn't have much to do this morning. Good thing 'cause it was still lightly raining when we got up. Didn't take us long to get ready to go, so Doug, Tami and kids headed out and we left for Florence. Stopped at our favorite sea food cafe for lunch, the fish and chips were excellent and then we browsed Old Town. I found a "Pegleg Pirate" windsock to fly from my RZR so will be set to fly it next time in the dunes.

We gambled a bit before heading into town and I recovered some of my lost money from a week ago; however, we went back in and gave back twenty dollars.........at least I'm still ahead this time............but probably won't be after we have the casino "senior special" breakfast in the morning before we leave for Vancouver.

We've got the little generator running, parked the Jeep so it ties in everything on the trailer, my satellite dish is working and Becky has her internet so we're settled for the night. Next stop....Washington. W&B
