Arriving at the Monaco repair center, - Harrisburg, Oregon

After 3 long days of driving a total of 876 miles we finally made it to the Monaco Corp.'s repair facility in Harrisburg, Oregon. For those that don't know, Monaco purchased Safari (the maker of our coach) in 2001. We weren't able to get a spot in the "campground" until tomorrow, so we're dry camping in the parking lot tonight. We're definately not alone though. The best part is that it's deliciously cool here compared to where we've been the last 2 weeks. For the past 2 weeks we've been in 90+ (32.2C) degree heat. When we stopped outside of Portland at the Wilsonville Camping World it was a beautiful 72 (22.2C)degrees and sunny. We got the moho parked and realized we probably only have enough water for tonight, so we headed into Eugene (18 miles away) for some cheap dinner and wifi.

Tomorrow Rich will meet with our service advisor at 10:30, while I attend a ladies' driving class at 10am. Fortuantely this class uses their moho's, so I don't have to worry about denting ours. We're not sure how long we'll be here, probably only 2-3 days at the most. I'm really hoping we'll get everything wrapped up by Thursday so we can move the coach to McMinneville, where we stayed before. On Friday Rich flies back to Michigan for 4 days to do a customer appreciation BBQ at Holiday Market in Royal Oak. We appreciate Holiday Market as they are responsible for 90% of our current income. If anyone in Michigan is going to be anywhere near Royal Oak on Saturday, stop in to Holiday Market. You'll get a lot of good, free food!
