On this trip I’d wanted to see the giant Redwood trees of California, but had thought this would be the Sequoia National park that is between Yosemite and LA. When a little internet research reveals that we’re about to drive though the coastal Redwood parks I’m quite excited. The Redwoods in this area are Coastal – or Californian - Redwoods and different to the trees in Sequoia which are Sequoia’s or Giant Redwoods. They aren’t as wide as the Sequoias but are actually significantly taller. The tallest tree in the world is somewhere here (the location is kept secret) but there are plenty of very tall (250ft +) trees you can walk to see and a few that are wide enough to drive a car through, though an RV would be a challenge! The other factoid ... read more

Bonjour à tous, Je vois que le 4 juillet approche, dans beaucoup de villages que je vais traverser aujourd'hui, il y a de la frénésie dans l'air, et pour certains la bière à commencée à couler. Aucune comparaison avec l'an dernier, pour la Fête Nationale, j'étais en Louisiane, et apparemment les états du sud sont moins nationalistes. Ici le cowboy Yankee, est maître. Mon premier arrêt ce matin je vais le faire à Sébastopol, petit village, à une trentaine de km de la côte. Je vois en passant, un immense parking, et de l'animation, du monde tout à côté. C'est un marché, braderie, vide grenier??. Je ne vais entendre parler qu'Espagnol, enfin Mexicain. C'est curieux, de déambuler au milieu de ces étales, il y a de tout, des fruits et légumes, des vendeurs de chapeaux style ... read more

Geo: 39.1524, -123.188Let's just start this entry with it won't be as funny as the previous ones. My sense of humor is a little stressed at the moment. The corral and shade structure were built but I think everybody, including us, paid a heavy price. This construction job wasn't the kind of thing a bunch of family over 50 should do (per Michael, a structural engineer who was helping) but we gave it our best shot and it turned out pretty good. No barn was erected since we all ran out of muscles, energy and time which is probably a good thing considering what happened next.Made it to our campsite for a week of relaxation which lasted about 18 hours when I had to call an ambulance for my Dave. He was diagnosed with sever dehydration ... read more

Geo: 39.1509, -123.208Bushay Campground, Lake Mendicino.......138 sites......First day 3 campers and us. It almost seems like the twilight zone. We have never had a campground so empty in the summer months. Never got more than 6 campers the entire time we stayed... Very surprising and a little disturbing since the campground, showers and potties included, was the bomb diggity. It was a fun few days, relaxing, doing pretty much nothing..... ... read more
