A short drive to Roseburg & the Douglas County Campground. I'm in Site 42, a back in site with water & electric for $20.20. The bathrooms & showers are a long way away, but from the look of them, that is probably good! Still, a good stop for one night. I'll be making short hops until the 10th, when I can get my site at Bullard's Beach.
They have a museum here at the fairgrounds. $4.00 for seniors. The most unusual exhibit - a pair of live rattlesnakes. Hard to shoot because they are behind glass (probably a good idea!). Anyhow, most of today's photos are of the museum. I had to include the photo of the 2 man chain saw. My parents used one of these when clearing the land for out house in Croton-on-Hudson, NY. A huge, heavy beast that scared all of us, but made quick work of the trees that had to be removed for the foundation.
It is Graffiti Weekend here in Roseburg, with many classic cars all over the area. I saw around 40 as I drove through Glide on OR 138, and there are a few here at the fairgrounds. Tonight there is a "Show & Shine" race at the fairgrounds - It sounds like the Oswego Speedway during warm ups. I hope they aren't racing some of the cars here in the campground - most are far too beautiful to bash around on a track.

Depending on whether the sausage defrosts (it shouldn't be a problem since, while the freezer is doing OK at 5°F, I can't get the refrigerator section under 44°F with an outside temperature of 80°F) I'll either have the rest of the Alfredo sauce with spaghetti, or a Bubba Burger. Tomorrow I have to make an emergency stop at Walmart, or, better yet, a used bookstore. A tragedy is taking place - I'm out of books!
