California Here We Come

Love ya Oregon....but we're outta here! We pointed the coach south on Hwy 101 and drove about 225 miles. It sprinkled occasionally and the sun broke through a few times. All in all, a pleasant drive.


There are so many neat bridges in Oregon and every one is photo worthy. (Just not necessarily my photos....lol)


We breezed right through the agricultural checkpoint with just a couple of questions and continued into California. The plan was to make it to a Passport America (1/2 price) park in Crescent City. But, we got a very late start and by the time we arrived in Crescent City it was pitch black. We hate, hate, hate driving the coach in the dark.

Our gps tour guide gave us directions to the park that landed us in a gravel dead end in someone's front yard. Let me repeat....in the dark! After a few choice words, we checked to make sure that the barking dog was safe and then unhooked the car (in the rain) and turned the coach around.

Doug got back on the main highway and guessed at the next park, which turned out to be the wrong one. At this point....in the dark....we parked the coach and took the car to look for Sunset Harbor RV Resort. I called the park manager and got very explicit directions and we found it tucked back down a small side road.

Sooooooo, back we went to get the coach. We found a site......in the dark.....and Doug got the coach backed in......in the dark......and we settled down for the night. One of the many adventures that goes along with fulltiming.

By mornings light, we discovered that it's a very nice park. This sites are large with 50 amp power and cable tv.


There are lots of trees and everything seems well take care of.


Too bad we are only going to be here one night.

We missed you in California. We returned to Kansas from Sacramento on Tuesday.
Maybe we will see you in Texas in December or January.
Travel Safe!
