Salem, Honeywood Winery, Silverton

Morning started foggy but burned off by the time we left.  Last time we will see cool weather for a while.

Took about an hour and a half to get to Salem.  Noticeably warmer even half way there.  Drove the carbus through downtown Salem to Costco on the southern end.  Filled the carbus with gas and did some shopping.  Then to AAA for some maps.

After AAA we drove about a mile to Honeywood Winery.  We go there every time we go through Salem.  That means every 10-15 years.  It is the oldest winery in Oregon.  They make a wide variety of wines including a large number of fruit wines.  Not many wineries make fruit wines and these people do it well. I have not tasted one of their wines that I did not like.  We tasted six different wines and purchased several bottles which we will save for special occasions.

Another twenty miles and we reached Silver Spur RV Park in Silverton.  Nice park.  Looks new.  Moderately full.  Will be a good base for our next three days activities.
