We awakened to a very nice day in Glenyan RV Park. Since today’s agenda was clear, we started out by going to look for a local landmark called McKee Covered Bridge near Jacksonville. I was navigating and, foolishly, I looked at our Oregon Gazetteer to determine the route. There may have been some misconceptions involved but we ended up getting on a gravel road that started out scary and went downhill from there. Possibly close to the bridge, the gravel road got even skinnier than what we had been using where there was a sign that stated the narrow road was now single-lane only and Peggy did not feel like getting a quarter mile down a narrow road with a bluff on the passenger side where she may be required to back out so we chickened out and turned around. We never saw the covered bridge.
We headed back into Jacksonville, a suburb of Medford, where we met Peggy’s niece, Christy, and her hubby for lunch at a place called Onyx. I was unimpressed with the food but their beer and porter were quite good. From Onyx we drove over to Ben’s (Peggy’s niece’s husband) folks’ home that is located part way up a hill overlooking the Jacksonville/Medford area and the view was spectacular. The house was also very nice. We spent quite a bit of time there appreciating the scenery.
We drove back from Ben’s folks’ place back to our nifty camping spot at Glenyan RV where we did strenuous stuff like drinking and napping. This retirement stuff is pretty nice.
