Napa Valley
We left Travis Air Force on Tuesday 5th of May one week ago today after touring Wine country in Napa and Sonoma Valleys.
We only drove about 50 miles to Petaluma Coast Guard Training center. This was a beautiful little Base with a small campground and lots of Canadian geese.
Local Neighbors at Petaluma
Spent two days getting out very little as it was overcast and rainy. Left on Thursday and drove up the California coast about 150 miles and stayed at a RV Park right on a beach. It was expensive but beautiful. Had a nice walk along the beach.
Gordon on Beach Northern California
Left the next morning continuing up the coast into Redwood country. Coming off the coast drove some of the worst Highway yet encountered. As we rejoined US 101, we saw and followed signs to the Redwood tree that you can drive a car through. The girl in the gift shop said the drive through was carved in the 1930’s. It doesn’t seem to have hurt the tree that is now 2400 years old.
Truck wouldn't fit
Leaving there we continued north driving the Avenue of the Giants through the largest and oldest living things on earth. Redwood trees!
Would make a lot of Toothpicks
Stopped for three days in Smith River, California just three miles south of the Oregon border.
Smith River Campground
We had mail coming in and had to wait for it and go out for Mothers Day.
Both boys called Jayne, that just made her day. On Monday continued up the Oregon coast. Stopped in Port of Newport and went through the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
Had Hitch-hikers when we left Aquarium
A very nice Aquarium ranked in the top ten. We then went up the coast another 20 miles to a beautiful RV Park called Coyote Rock right on a river.
Coyote Rock rough life some one has to do it
