Catching up!

Whew!  Sure don't like moving that many times in just a few days!


Dec 3 and 4 Cape Blanco State Park, Port Orford, Oregon Coast

It poured here!!  Wonderful, peaceful park.  My walking stick works well for the more rough terrain helping me stay upright!!

Wonderful pics down by the bay of the sun setting (it wasn't really a sunset if that makes sense!!).


Dec 5 and 6 Redwood Acres Eureka, CA

Probably the worst place we've stayed (although the people were really nice!) and we did it for the price.  $17.50 instead of $35 per night.  Basically a gravel and dirt parking lot, sites too close, construction with flaggers right outside the "park", lots of noise and traffic in the city and the frantic pace not expected at the coast!
Added garland and angel topper
and now it's complete!

We did enjoy browsing the shops in Ferndale and are looking forward to the avenue of the giants tomorrow!  Hope to camp there but it might be challenging even for "short" us!  We're still tall and wide!

Highlights:  Found fun Christmas stuff and finished the tree!

Lowlights:  "parking" (aka camping) in the city

Dec 7 Giant Redwood RV park, Myers flat

Spent one night here so we could take a walk in the different groves along the avenue of the giants.  Tried to get into Burlington where the brochure and a ranger told us we would fit but the camp host said no way and sent us here.

Met more fulltimers who were volunteering at the visitor center.  Great to start networking on the road!

Highlights:  We felt the earthquake off the coast near Ferndale!  We were sitting watching the morning news and the RV started rockin' and rollin' and we looked at each other...looked outside and saw nothing then decided to see if there was an earthquake about that time and sure enough - 6.5 (or so?!) off the coast about 100 miles!

 Lowlights:  Luck ran out on the cold and rain but we didn't let that stop us!
