\tWe left the huge homeless encampment called Eureka, CA, today and headed north. I seem to have also picked up a very slow leak in one of our trailer tires so we stopped at a local 76 station before getting onto US-101 northbound. We initially thought we were going to have pretty good driving conditions but before we made it to Arcata the skies opened up and let us have it. I think it was raining about an inch an hour or more as we crept along during the hour and a half drive from Eureka to Klamath. Normally this drive would take someone in a good passenger car about 50 minutes but in our truck pulling a 12,000 pound trailer up and down steep hills pasted on a very squiggly road the going was slower.
\n\tAfter passing a wreck on 101 that looked like the car had been used as a bomb we finally pulled off at the south bank of the Klamath River and drove a couple miles to the Kamp Klamath RV Park where we pulled into space 13. The rain had dwindled to a drizzle as we pulled in but as soon as I started to set up the Invader the skies opened up again and I was soaked before I could run around the trailer and climb in the door. The inside of the trailer stayed remarkably dry during today’s passage. I was expecting a lot more water inside since we were driving underwater but I was pleasantly surprised to find about the only water inside came off me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
