Fortuna, CA
Looking ahead at the weather, we decided to spend Christmas Day driving from Lodi, CA to Fortuna, CA, located on the coast, just off of Highway 101. We bunked down at Riverwalk RV Park, a place we had stayed twice before. Just to the north of us, between Crescent City and Newport, OR, they were…

On Christmas Eve we drove from Anaheim to Lodi, CA, some 380 miles. We arrived in time to relax a little before getting ready for mass at St. Anne’s Catholic Church, 15 minutes away. It was a huge church with a very long center aisle, and not surprisingly, the church was full to capacity. The…

We arrived in Anaheim on Friday, December 20th and quickly got set up at our Orangeland RV Resort campsite. The site was tight, but we made it work. And the location was excellent.

On our way to Palm Springs, we drove by the Borax plant and 20 Mule Team Drive. We had seen it a couple of times before, but for some reason it takes me back to my youth when we used to see the Borax commercials on TV. We stayed one night at the Palm Springs…

It was our first trip to Carmel, and we loved it! What a quaint little town. No two houses were the same. Most of them were small bungalows full of character. Even the roofs were unique. We stayed at Carmel by the River RV Park. It was a one lane road for the last several…

We traveled from Crescent City, CA to Willits, CA, driving through the majestic Redwoods and stopping along the way at the Trees of Mystery. We couldn’t believe the number of bicyclists we encountered on HWY 101. In some places there was little or no space on the side of the road for bikes. Super dangerous!…

We drove down the picturesque Oregon coast towards Crescent City, CA and stayed two nights at the Crescent City Redwoods KOA Park. The campground was just off of 101, amongst the Redwoods. It was so heavily wooded, we didn’t even bother to set up Starlink. While there, we spent some time at the beach as…

The drive down HWY 99 was shared with lots of big trucks. We made a couple of stops along the way to dump the gray and black tanks and fill the propane. We only needed two gallons of propane. We arrived at Slash X Ranch, another Harvest Host location, and found that the restaurant is…
