Today was a moving day. We left Silver Spur RV in Silverton, turned west on OR-213 to Salem, hung a left onto I-5 south to Eugene and then took the ramp onto south OR-58 for a short run into Dexter. There we initially flew right past our scheduled stop because it was not actually on the road the Garmin said it was on. We saw the park and the road that led to the park out the passenger side window as we passed nearby. It was only a few miles further up the road that we found a place where it was possible to turn an enormous Ford truck attached to a 34′ trailer. Our second pass by the park worked out a bit better.
We pulled into the Dexter Shores RV Park and I sent Peg in to register. While I was waiting, I noted that Dexter Shores RV Park could probably be called the Dexter Lake Is Across the Highway RV Park. After registration, we were directed to follow an extremely grumpy man in a truck to our RV space. The space has full hookups but the space itself is very narrow. Peggy gets the Vigilance Award because she cleverly dodged the pile of dogshit left in our space such that it was placed directly outside her truck door. Fortunately, we drew a space that has a sliver view of the lake and a good view of the mature Douglas Fir trees in and near the park.
As of this writing, we know the cable TV here is caca but the wifi mostly works. We have had the air conditioner running so we don’t hear a bit of traffic noise from adjacent OR-58. The surrounding country looks extremely pretty and we will head out on a mission of exploration tomorrow.
