Canyonville & Eugene Oregon * July 2012

The trees are getting bigger at lovely Seven Feathers RV Resort, providing some shade on a 90 degree day.  Located just off Interstate 5 in Canyonville Oregon, it's a very nice park part way between home and Portland.

We had just driven over from the cool (53 degree) northern California coast.  Shortly after arriving I smelled propane, then I heard our new tank hissing.  I kind of freaked!  We checked all the connections...all seemed tight.  I could see the propane streaming sideways from the top area of tank.  We ended up unhooking the tank and took it to the truck stop located next to the RV  park. 


As it turns out, we didn't have a leak.  The tank was doing what it should when overfilled.  In our case I think the change in temperature was the cause.  The OPD or overfill protection device was protecting us!

The professional at the truck stop used a second valve to release more pressure.  An unnerving experience for newbie airstream owners. 

On to Armitage County Park, just a few miles north of Eugene on Coberg Road.  I am impressed with the Oregon State and County park system.  We liked this place located on the McKenzie River and just a 5 minute drive down Coberg Road to get into Eugene.  


Full hook-ups including cable TV.  Lots of space between sites.  Celebrated my hubby's birthday with one of our sons and a big steak BBQ dinner.

Built a fire on our fire pit another night and got to know the nice couple in the 23' airstream safari next to us...  Roxie and John from Spokane.
