Harrisburg Oregon

We left Sunriver Oregon this morning and traveled over the Cascade Mountain range toward Eugene.   It was sunny one minute and then cold and cloudy the next.  It rained on us several times.  It was such a pretty drive over the mountain.  Lots of pine trees and the McKenzie River runs along side a lot of the highway!  I found out that Oregon has 51 covered bridges, the most of anywhere west of the Mississippi River.  We actually saw one of them today and I captured a picture as we drove by.

We got to the River Bend campground in Harrisburg.  It is a nice campground right on the Williamette River.  When I was walking Max, a lady walking her dog mentioned seeing a muskrat eating grass.  Max and I found it eating away!  It wasn't even too bothered by us.  I didn't get too close but did get it's picture.  The Freightliner chassis that is in the picture, is parked in an RV spot.  Apparently they are having some sort of class so it is set up for the demonstration.  The RV park also has a hotel and lots of banquet rooms!

Tomorrow morning we go south to Junction City, about 5 miles, to Camping World to get two new tires for the RV.  From there we will go back down to Eugene and then west to Florence on the coast!
