Sunday at Broken Arrow Campground. It was chilly getting out of the van this morning but not as chilly as it was yesterday. You could tell it was going to be a warm day. After coffee and tidying up we decided to take a walk over to Diamond Lake before it got too hot. We […]
We got up and left at about 8:00 after only one cup of coffee. Oh, the torture. Most of the beautiful drive was along the North Umpqua River as we rose to about 5,200 feet. As a plus there was very little traffic at that time of the morning. Our plan was to get to […]
A day of relaxation, not that we haven’t been relaxing the entire trip. We’re just not driving anywhere today. The Elk Haven RV Park was nice. They had great showers, which we needed and a weak Wi-Fi. We thought we might be able to post more but the Wi-Fi couldn’t handle our demands. We did, […]
Before leaving the Elkton RV Park we ventured down to the Umpqua River. It was an easy walk. We took a few pictures, found a couple of interesting rocks and stuck our feet in the water before leaving. We took Hwy 138 southeast toward Sutherlin, another nice drive. In Sutherlin we fueled up the van […]
Guess where the 2 winos and a cat are headed? As we drove up Hwy 101 Diane was looking for campgrounds in Elkton or nearby. In Bandon we stopped at a creamery recommended by Bill and Dee and bought Peppercorn and Vampire Slayer cheeses and some crackers. I think you all know what the main […]
Who would have thought that mornings in coastal Humboldt County would be foggy? Well it was. Hahaha! Slinky didn’t want to leave the van. She stayed inside covered by blankets. By temperature it wasn’t that cold, 52 degrees, but throw in the moisture and coming from Red Bluff, about 86 degrees when we left, and […]
A bit of breakfast, a bit of packing the van, photos and goodbyes we were off to wash the van before heading to the coast. There is a nice self serve car wash in Red Bluff. The van was pretty dirty after over 2 weeks on the road. We pulled into a stall put our […]
Squirrel Acres is the Perkin Ponderosa on Axtec Lane just off Pine Creek Rd. near Red Bluff CA. Their very functional house with 2 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, large living room, dining room and adequate kitchen are only topped by the very large covered deck that ovelooks their swimable pond. Deer, grey tree squirrels, brown […]
Most of the main streets in Ukiah were being resurfaced so it was a little longer to get out of town then we hoped but we made it. North on Hwy 101 east on Hwy 20 past Clear Lake to I5 and north to Red Bluff. Red Bluff is where Diane’s parent live and Diane’s […]
Pita took us to one of her favorite swimming holes not far from her house. Being Wednesday it wasn’t very crowded. We swam, had lunch, played Bogle and had a great time. We also saw 2 water snakes, a river otter and many salamanders. Leaving we drove around the grounds of the 10,000 Buddha’s Monastery. […]
