This was the perfect time to be at the Ancient Redwoods RV Park near Red Crest, CA. We had it almost to ourselves. The 31 mile Avenue of the Giants is right through those trees. The only frustration was the lack of cell phone service, even with a booster in the office. Our personal mifi is dependent on cell phone service, so we had to use the park's wifi and we often got kicked off of that frequently. The beauty of the area and peace and quiet made up for all of that. We did discover that we could drive two miles into tiny Red Crest and get cell service.
We had planned to stay on the Avenue of the Giants for three days, but record rains and wind in Oregon made us decide to stay two more days. Here we are entering Hwy 101 as we leave. It felt good to have cell service again. We have become very spoiled by instant communication. Love the marine layer in the trees.
This car is towing a covered wheel chair on a cute, small trailer just big enough for the chair. We have never seen anything like it before. Highway 101 is quite schizophrenic. It varies from wide four lane like this to the narrow two lane seen below.
This scene shows the angry surf after a weekend of storms. It reminds me of a jigsaw puzzle photo.
There were four areas of construction along Hwy 101. A couple of them were repairing areas where the road had slid off on the ocean side.
Highway 101 goes through the Redwood National Park. The trees along the highway are beautiful, but not as spectacular as those along the Avenue of the Giants and in the Rockefeller Forest.
Crescent City, CA appears to be fueled by tourism.
Wish we could have seen this hauled into place.
We arrived back at Beachfront RV Park in the marina at Brookings, OR to this view out our windshield. Ahhh....
