On the road for summer
No, not a weather report.
Florence, Or is a Coastal town we like visiting...a bit touristy but still laid back. 
Oh yeah, the showers...the city marina/campground has free hot showers. Gotta use them during daytime hours but just help yourself.
Mind you, they are public so wear your shower shoes. 
The times we have been here we had no problem parking overnight on a city street and there is also a casino with a free dry lot.
Pretty cool little town.
 
Thanks for the report. I've been to Florence and the casino parking lot for overnighting many times. Didn't know about the free showers though. I did know that there is a laundromat on the main street with paid showers. BTW, my favorite drive is from Florence to Eugene on the old highway. It's beautiful driving along the river and Triangle Lake. But not a good road if you are prone to carsickness.
 
Got pretty warm yesterday but chilled quickly at sunset.
We'll be in Coos Bay sometime next week. Always enjoy our visits there.

Will have to check out Eugene sometime.
 
Do you kids know that they've now changed the rules down at Bastendorff Beach??

They now have FREE campsites right down along the beach!!

You guys like FREE...right??? :)


Seeya next week!! :D
 
Rats...

I shouldda remembered that, as I was a very regular lap swimmer for nearly 5 years at the Mingus Park Pool.


actually...this would be an great idea for travelers to look into for showers on the road!
 
We've used public pools in lots of places during summers mainly for showers. Some places have better facilities but are clean. Sometimes we find ones like here that offer the shower only deal. 
Its nice getting regular showers on the road in the summer.

After the pools close for the season we look for towns with a "Y".
