That would be nice, but I don't think there is many choices on VRBO for larger homes.

The Fairmont house looks really nice! and it has great kitchen to work in, but it doesn't show the backyard right? And I believe this is the one you don't know if the W's could park their RV.
Can someone contact them to find out? Some of the others that Uno listed are already taken for that weekend, so I think that this should be booked sooner rather than later. IMHO

Don't worry about RV.

It'll be fine at my place. I have a big driveway at the end of a culdesac for easy maneuvering.

In a nut shell:

Traffic delay: A flock of geese in the road.
Traffic jam: 8 cars waiting 10 minutes at a railroad crossing.

North side of town to south side of town: 15 minutes, distance 20 miles
East to west: 15 minutes, distance 20 miles.

Hwy 126 starts at the top of a 5000' mountain pass, winds down to the valley, goes right through downtown Eugene, and continues on to the pacific ocean. Distance about 200 miles.

I-5 from California to Washington. Around 350 miles.

20 miles in 15 minutes = 80MPH

I thought about that after I posted. "Hey wait, I think I got my numbers reversed." What I meant to say, is everything in the area, seems like a 15 minute drive.

And for your info., Eugene is 195 miles from the Cali border. (Then 15 minutes to my house off of I-5.)

Oh yes. It's an easy day trip to the coast. About an hour drive to Florence, Oregon. Great beaches shops, restarurants, hotels etc...
