I am still sick but not so miserable that we can’t move. Today we pulled up stakes in Calistoga and headed north. CA-26 turns into CA-128 near Calistoga and heads through the Alexander Valley which is a gorgeous grape growing area. There are a few really skinny, serpentine sections before CA-128 hits 101 but we got through them okay. The paving along this section is a bit iffy. It was only after driving through this area that we consulted the Good Sam road atlas and found the “RV friendly” part of the route through the whine country stops at Calistoga.
After a very pleasant spin on 101 we arrived in Cloverdale and pulled into the Russian River RV Resort, a TT campground where we have free access for 21 days at a time. When we arrived, the park was only about 20% full so we pulled into a very nice pull-thru site and set up house for an 8-day stay. I got all the outside utilities and supports set up but noticed I seemed to be gasping and wheezing more than my decrepit body normally does so I went into the trailer to rest after I finished. I hate being sick or any sicker than normal.
Peggy was very sweet and said we could spend the rest of the day doing nothing so we did.
