August 30, 2013---Eugene to Junction City, Davis Cabinets


Lori, Tucker, and I had a really busy day today.  And it was a donut/bakery kind of day.

On our way to the recreation trail to pick up pine cones for a project, we stopped at a donut shop less than a block from the Elks Lodge where we have had the motorhome parked.  With well fortified tummies, we went on our pine cone expedition.  

On our way back to the van, we met a couple walking a Golden Retriever.  He was about Willie’s age, but not as big.  I thanked the people for sharing Dakota with me and letting me have my “Willie fix!”

As we were on our way to another pine cone area when we saw two thrift stores.  We spent some time in each one before continuing our quest for cones.  The area was a disappointment.  Nothing to pick up and haul off.

We backtracked and made a Super Walmart stop to get some last minute tax free things before we head south tomorrow.

Our next stop required us to hunt around several blocks for a parking place in downtown Eugene.  We were on a mission to Voodoo Doughnut.  Our friends, Dwight and Sheila, had told us about the shop in downtown Portland and how long the line was to get in every time they went past it.  Voodoo Doughnut has been featured on several TV channels and is becoming known in this part of Oregon.  We didn’t have to wait in line.  They had some rather strange flavors.  Lori bought some to take to JP and Natalia.  I bought six, which we sampled as soon as we got to the van.  I can’t really say they tasted any better than any other donuts.  I think it is kind of a cult thing, like In-N-Out!

We went to Costco for a couple of things, including Polish Dogs, before taking a back road to Junction City.  Bill asked us to check on the MH parking situation at Davis Cabinets.  He wanted to move the coach in anticipation of having our desk/table installed next week.

After calling Bill and telling him to “get a move on it,” we went in search of a bakery run by a Mennonite woman.  It was out in the country and took quite a long time to find.  It was worth the effort.  We bought a cream cheese pie topped with fresh peaches, some dinner rolls, and a bag of molasses cookies.

When we got back to Davis Cabinets, Bill was there.  Yippy, Skippy!  We had peach pie for supper!  Yum, yum!
