December 31, 2007 New Years Eve

We slept at Seven Feathers Casino in Canyonville, south of Roseburg, Oregon last night, rolled in very late, about 11:30. We fell into bed and were up and on the road by 11. It is a nice place to stay. They have nice showers, pool, sauna, and of course all the rest of the casino stuff. The buffet is pretty good, but we didn’t have it this time since we got in so late. Its secure and free unless we use the facilities.

A beautiful sunny day, blues skies with a few fluffy white clouds. It is quite cold tho. Stopped in Medford to pick up groceries and have lunch. We had our usual fun grocery shopping and marvelling at the good prices. I saved us $40 on wine alone! Have to stock up before Mexico as its difficult to get good wine there.

As we reached the top of the Siskiyou Mountains the Momas and Poppas sang us “California Dreamin” (on such a winter’s day) – and yes there is snow in the Siskiyous. The pass is at 4,000+ feet . Very pretty, especially since the road is bare and dry (ice on the shoulders). So we hope to be down and out of them before nightfall.

Made it to Rolling Hills Casino in Corning, California for New Years Eve. We had a delicious meal of king crab legs steamed in white wine, rice and mushroom fried rice, and green beans; with a lovely bottle of Willamette Valley Chardonnay. Beautiful meal cooked right in the motor home.

We walked through the casino – uneventful, packed with people wearing New Years hats plugged into the many slot machines. We left before they started the kissing. We brought the New Years in by enjoying a wonderful shower in their spotless bath-house. They also have washers and dryers. Camping free, showers $7 for one or $10 to shower together. We took the bargain rate.
