Today we departed from Eureka and continued our generally southward progress. There are currently some real nasty fires burning in Central and Northern California that had closed our route but, last time we checked, the road south (US-101) is now open and we are giving it a whirl. We headed into the gorgeous country south of Eureka and had a pleasant drive although there were a few extra short delays due to construction.
About 90 miles down the road, we entered Richardson Grove Redwoods State Park where there are some really large trees only slightly encroaching on the twisty highway. The trees are truly majestic but they did keep this RV driver creeping along when trying to maneuver our lengthy arrangement past their massive stalks. We will go back for a closer look tomorrow, without the 34′ of trailer.
Right on the southern edge of the Park, we pulled into the Richardson Grove RV Park where the nice reception lady gave us a great rate of $20 a day. The place has no wifi but we did get a pull-thru spot with good satellite reception and full hookups.
