It was time to head east and leave the coast for a bit to get some work done on Nest 2. We took Hwy. 126 on the north shores of the Siuslaw River. |
The Siuslaw River Marina RV Park is just NE of Florence and has riverfront sites. |
The tenderhouse on the swing span of Coos Bay Rail Link - Siuslaw River Bridge # 7. |
It is also called the Cushman Bridge ( because it is located in Cushman, OR.). It was built in 1914. |
Hwy 126 follows Siuslaw River for quite a while. |
Hwy. 126 takes you through the Petersen Tunnel. The tunnel was built in 1957. It is one hour from the tunnel to the coast. |
The highest elevation on Hwy. 126 from Florence to Eugene is 769 feet at Cougar Pass. |
The road was fairly decent all the way to Eugene. A bit windy at times, but not too bad. |
We entered the south end of the Willamette Valley as we descend the foothills. |
We turned north on Territorial Road just west of Eugene, which took us past Fern Ridge Lake. |
We turn east on Hwy. 36 toward Junction City, OR., population 5,392. There are vineyards in Oregon also. |
We found Davis Cabinets in the small town of Junction City, OR. and pull in to the parking lot. The drive was 75 miles , a hour and 30 minutes drive. |
We had an appointment for Monday morning. |
We found one spot left in the back and hooked up to electricity for the night. We are currently located in Rockaway Beach on the northern coast of Oregon. |
