 Just a quick post to keep the blog active.

 I am writing this post during Covid.  I had a message from Google that inactive accounts might be discontinued and I don't want that to happen.  We are researching new RVs after having sold the Airstream and when we get one, and when the virus clears, we will be back on the road for short camping trips between Gary's chemotherapy sessions.

Torture in Crescent City, CA.

Yesterday we drove from Garberville, CA to Crescent City where we, thankfully, only stayed for one night.  Our RV park was right on the Pacific and beautiful to see.  The problem was the foghorn.  It was loud, insistent and turned on 24/7 in spite of the fact that there was NO FOG!  A few more hours there and I would definitely have lost my mind.  The natives say they don't notice it anymore!  It was worse than the beeping of the trucks backing up across the highway from our home.  Condos for seniors are being built there.  We have listened to that noise for over two years but it is only permitted from 7 A.M. to 5 P.M. and is not constant.

Some local art at Shoreline RV Park and the aquarium next door.

Here are some pictures of the stunning Pacific coast of California and Oregon.

Redwoods which grow right up to the edge of the highway.

Here is what 3 1/2 months of mail looks like MINUS the catalogs.

It has been a fantastic trip.  We have driven 9,941.6 miles and enjoyed the company of many family members and friends.  Can't wait to do it, again.

On the way to Santa Rosa, CA we encountered even thicker fog than what we experienced today in the pictures above.  In Santa Rosa we stayed at the Fairgrounds RV Park, a place we have stayed before.  We enjoyed Kettles Vietnamese Bistro again and ran some errands.  Today we left for a night in Garberville, CA.

Driving on US 101 we detoured through Willits for lunch.

We decided to take the coast route home to avoid any snow or freezing rain in the mountains along I-5.  It is a longer ride but we were rewarded with another trip through the redwoods and the beautiful scenery.

Tonight we treated ourselves to a special dinner at the historic Benbow Inn.  We walked there from the campground.  The food was good but it was very expensive.  Many famous people stayed here in its heyday such as Clark Gable, Eleanor Roosevelt, etc. 

They had a book tree in the library, which I loved.

Tomorrow we will move to Shoreline RV Park in Crescent City, CA, then the Mill Casino and RV Park in North Bend, then home.  It has been such a wonderful trip!!
