So Tired of the Rain

Our plan was to stay at the South Jetty Thousand Trails for several days. But, by morning, the downpour started again and when the trees above us let go of their share of the rain, we thought we had become a submarine. Enough already! So, we again packed up and headed south. There must be some sunshine somewhere.


After a couple of stops to walk poor, sick Buddy, we finally made it to California. We were stopped at the agricultural station and the ranger came into the coach to check our refrigerator. I've never had that happen before. All we had were a couple of bananas and a squash. So we were on our way in no time. We did ask the ranger how far it was to the sunshine. He laughed and said it was raining all the way to San Francisco. Thanks, just what we wanted to hear.


In Crescent City, we stopped at the Visitor Information building but it was closed on weekends. We continued south on 101 through the Trees of Mystery and Redwood Forest. Breathtaking scenery and we even saw another Alpine Coach in the parking lot of the Trees of Mystery.

A little before 5pm, we stopped at the California Visitor Center in Arcata. The nice young man was just getting ready to close so we grabbed a couple of maps and told him we would be back in the morning. There is a RV park next door and we were tired. So, we checked in to the Mad River Rapids RV Park and pulled into a 60' long pull through site. We didn't even unhook the car. Just plugged into power and got out of the rain. Did I mention it was still raining???? We plan on spending just the one night and continuing south.
