During the month of June, the Roamers once again roamed up the Oregon coast for the National Chainsaw Carving Championship. A total of twelve RVs made the trip to Winchester Bay to attend the chainsaw carving event held in Reedsport Oregon. The four-day event had carvers from five countries and more than ten states. The carving craftsmanship was amazing! At least three Roamers purchased a carving. In fact, one Roamer got carried away and purchased a new trailer (which was not made of wood)!
Other events that Roamers participated in included riding the Sand Rails across the Oregon Sand Dunes, attending the Reedsport Gem Show, touring the Umpqua Lighthouse, walking thru the gardens of Shore Acres, and of course eating. You can’t go on a Roamers trip without expecting to gain weight. Our feast at Chen’s Family Dish (voted the best restaurant in Florence, Oregon) produced enough food to last three days, and our ending night potluck (held in the beautiful Marine Activity Center) created a great time to share our adventure and grow our friendships.
If you are an Elk, own an RV, and enjoy an adventure, you should be a member of the Eureka Roamers RV Club. Roamers have the following outings left for this year:
Bill’s BBQ – August 24th
Labor Day Weekend Klamath RV Park
Florence and Gold Beach in September 19th-21st
Benbow RV Park in November
Thank you to Roamers who have stepped forward to plan our outings. The next meeting will be August 7 at
4:30 pm at the Lodge.
