It's Tues. Nov. 10 and we're in Arcata, California. It's just north of Eureka. On Monday morning I decided I wanted to stay in bed, so we stayed another day in Coos Bay. The weather cleared up, the sun shone and we called a shuttle bus to take us to the Casino. We spent a couple of hours there, used two coupons for $3.00 each and had french fries and cinammon twists with them. In the time we were in the casino the weather changed and became rainy but we missed it. By evening the stars had come out and we woke up today to sunshine. We packed up and left about 9:45.
When we were in Long Beach Washington, we discovered that our fridge was not working. Mike said he could smell ammonia. Today, we finally stopped in Coos at a rv dealership. Mike talked to the parts manager who told him that if he had smelled ammonia the fridge was probably not repairable. Ouch. A new fridge will put us behind about $1400. Tomorrow we hope to find a repair shop here in Eureka. It is Remembrance Day here too, (known as Memorial Day) but we're hoping someone will be open.
If not, we will try to find a little fridge that we can put between the two chairs here and at least have somewhere to put a quart of milk and some eggs. If not then we'll just keep looking for a place to get the fridge fixed or maybe find a used fridge that works (maybe from a damaged trailer?).
We saw a pretty bad accident on the way here, and the lady next door to us said there was a bad accident that held her up from getting back here. One of the units was from British Columbia. I sure hope no one was seriously injured in either accident.
Tomorrow we're headed for Santa Rosa. It is located in the Napa Valley region.
