It is only about a three hour drive from Medford, OR straight up I-5 to Coburg, but on the way I was reading about a RV park in the town of Sutherlin, OR that was built in an old drive in theater. They left the screen and on the weekends they show classic movies. So we decided to stop and check it out. We had driven about 75 miles and it was early afternoon. The park is very easy to get to.
The name of the park is Hi-Way Haven. The RV’s are all parked in pull through spaces, but the front window does not face the screen, so we had to look out the driver side window and the window above the couch.
Once it got dark outside, which is after 9 pm in the pacific northwest, we were able to watch the movie and listen to it on our radio. Very cool set-up and unique. The movie was Grumpy Old Men. A classic! 
Below the screen is the projection room—they forgot to turn out the light!
We left the next morning for Coburg. The RV has an appointment on the 22nd to have the slides looked at and checked. We don’t want to go into Canada and have something go wrong with them. We are also having an issue with the front door sticking and not opening easily. Afraid we will get locked out one day!
We arrived in Coburg a few days before our appointment, but there were plenty of parking spots out in the RV parking area. There is water and electric supplied and a dump site right there, so it’s a good place to be. While we were setting up we met a really nice couple from Texas and ended up going out to lunch with them.
On the way back to the coaches it started to rain enough that we had to use our wipers. We stopped at a nice fruit stand and picked up some fresh veggies and fruit. Roger (our new friend) and Anna had never had a rhubarb pie, so Roger bought the rhubarb, I made thee pie, and that night we all had rhubarb pie and ice cream.We took off the next day and drove to Albany to visit Don and Mary and family. Melly had a Father’s day dinner planned for Curt, but she stopped by and we were able to visit for a short time. Brandi and Family were all at the house and we gathered everyone up and had a nice dinner out at Izzey’s. It is a great pizza place with a really nice buffet. Below is Brandi and her family.
Brandy is Don and Mary’s granddaughter so the kids are great grand children, and do they love their great grand parents. Nice to see.
Back to Coburg and the next evening we got together with 3 other couples that were having work done on their RV’s. It was happy hour after all. While the RV’s are in the shop, we have no home to go back to, so a trip to the wineries was planned by three of us. Off we go to the tasting rooms.
This was the first one we visited. It was in an old restored barn. The winemaker liked to do exotic blends, and none of the wine drinkers really liked them very well. So on to the next stop.
This place was overlooking a beautiful water way with lots of trees and flowers. A beautiful place to have a wedding or a party with a large outside deck. The road leading up the hill was part gravel and would be awful during the winter.
The tasting and the comparing. I drive and cannot drink wine (boo-hoo) but love the settings these wineries have. Above two of the couples we met at the RV repair in Coburg.
The last place we went was the Kings Ranch Winery where we did the tasting, bought a bottle to take home, and had a wonderful dinner. The views were spectacular over the valley as you can see below.
Before dinner tastings, and then a trip back to the RV’s where the technicians that worked on our homes had parked them again outside where we could live in them. It was a wonderful day and made the time at the repair facility a lot of fun.
During the time we had our RV in for repairs, the parent company decided to have a surprise inventory, so we ended up there 3 days longer than necessary while we had to wait for parts to arrive. Our slides now have new rubber seals and the rivets that hold the slide awning covers to the RV have all been replaced by screws. Our slides now work great and we are on our way north.
