Canyonville, Oregon: We had a very peaceful night as the only guests at the 27-site Blue Heron RV Resort in Hornbrook, California. The only sound was from the rippling river and though the temperatures dipped into the 20's (and we had to unhook the water) we were toasty warm inside the Magna Peregrinus with the radiant floor heaters set to "inferno".

And, well, it was 28°.
By 10:30a the fog had lifted and the sun was shining! We prepared to continue north, but we were delayed.



The owners invited us to try their onsite restaurant today and agreed we could stay past the usual check-out time (since we were the only paying customers!) if we wanted to stay for lunch. We walked up to the restaurant (with Reno). Our meals were not gourmet, but the food was very good and we can only assume in the high season, the bar is hopping. The restaurant will close soon - it is open only "in season". (The RV park is open year-round.)





Since we had dropped such a large chunk-o-change at the truck stop filling up the RV, the tribe awarded us with "free" slot play in the casino. Though we rarely go down to the casino, because it is smoky, we went down tonight and had dinner in the smoke-free sports bar. We turned the $50 "free" slot play into at least $60 at the video Blackjack machine embedded into the bar. WOOT!
It is easy to move around this town from the RV park via the free shuttle service provided by the tribe. They will take you from the RV resort to the casino. Or to the grocery store. Auto parts store. Local Italian restaurant. Liquor Store. Local Mexican restaurant. Truck Stop. Post Office. True, Canyonville is a very small town, but the tribe is very accommodating.
Tomorrow? Another exciting adventure!
