03-16-22 Wednesday  Crescent City, California Crescent City Jeeps in Parking Lot: 2 Drive Time: 0 Miles: 0 Arrived: 0 Woke up to a beautiful morning. Simple breakfast of cereal and a banana. Cleaned up a bit and ready to explore the Redwoods. We stopped by the KOA office to let them know our cable signal was very snowy and the cable line had water in it. Also asked about the channels. The channels listed on the paper with the map of the park is wrong. The woman behind the counter says they change cable providers often so it’s never right....uuummmm. No comment from me. We bought a couple of nice lightweight jackets and off to the National Park Visitor Center in Crescent City.  Zoom in for details At the visitor center I got my passport stamp and purchased a few stickers for my passport book. The Ranger behind the counter pulled out a map and showed us how to get to Howland Road and some ideas for hikes in the area. One he told us about was a hike to the ‘Grove of Titans.’ This hike has

03-15-22 Tuesday Crescent City, California                     Crescent City Jeeps in Parking Lot: 0 Drive Time: 3 hours Miles: 136.8 Arrived: 3:23 pm Weather this morning was nice, no rain just cloudy. Seeing a bit of blue sky was a pleasant surprise from Mother Nature. I decided to make mushroom and cheese omelets for breakfast, yummy. Quick cleanup and get the RV ready to move out this morning. We needed to get air in one tire, but Barry’s tire inflator was not enough. This KOA has an area you can pull up to for air. This park caters to the OHV crowd, so it makes sense they have air available.  On the road again.... well for one and a half miles. I wanted to stop at the Myrtlewood Factory. All items are handmade, carved or milled. The cutting boards were a work of art. I ended up buying two ornaments, a bowl, a key rack for the RV and a cheese board. Back on the road for real.  The drive down the coast was absolutely beautiful. Some of Hwy 101 was a bit rugged and a few construction

03-14-22 Monday Oregon Dunes, Oregon Oregon Dunes KOA Jeeps in Parking Lot: 0 Drive Time: 2.5 hours Miles: 105.6 Arrived: 4:00 pm  Today is a drive day. Up at 8:00 am, coffee and tea. We were out of the park by 10:30 am. Hit Walmart for a few supplies, mainly bananas. Had to stop and get gas and propane in the RV. Stopped at a Chevron (since we had points) for gas and propane. Unfortunately, the propane hose was not long enough. We ended up at a Fred Meyer gas station but had to remove the jeep to get into the spot by the propane. Had problems disconnecting the jeep. Barry cut his hand trying to remove the jeep from the tow bar. We lost a few hours. It was pouring rain the entire way to the Oregon Dunes but an easy drive. We made it to the KOA about 4:00 pm. Pulled into our spot and set up. We decided to go see the dunes even though it was raining. We came this way to see the dunes and darn it we are going too, even if we get soaked. About five minutes away is Horsfall RV Recreation Ar
