Let me get caught up

We've been on the road for the past three days so its been hard to find the time to post. Let me get caught up now. Monday after having our furnace serviced at Camping World in Bakersfield, we finally hit the road around noon and drove up I-5 to a truck stop in Westley. The night we spent there was very noisy so we didn't get much sleep. We left Westley Tuesday morning and headed over I-580 to catch up with highway 101 just above San Francisco.

Tuesday on highway 101 was mostly vinards, and green rolling hills. We stopped a couple of times, once at Walmart but found it wasn't a Super Walmart so we continued on until we found a regular grocery store. We just needed a few things. We stopped for the night at Coyote Valley Casino. It was much quieter. Once we arrived we went in to let the security know we would be spending the night and signed up for players cards. Each card was loaded with $10, so we played the slots. We won enough to pay for us both to play bingo later that evening. Didn't win but had fun for a couple of hours.

This morning we left the casino and continued north on 101. It wasn't long before we were driving through the most beautiful country. We stared climbing through the redwoods. The road would go from a 4 lane highway to 2 lanes.



We stopped at a roadside place that did chain saw carvings out of redwood. Here I am with Smokey!!



It wasn't long after that we came down and around the corner there was the Pacific Ocean.



We arrived here at Kamp Klamath RV Park where we will stay for the next couple of days exploring the Redwood National Park.

It sure has been nice to see all the green hills and tall trees the past few days. As much as we loved being in Arizona for the winter, we were tired of Cactus and rocks!!
