n one campsite! And all with electric hookups!The 'Tilton Hilton was on the 20 amp. service, The Road Runner on 30 amp. service and The Happy Turtle was on the 50 amp. service. Did we blow a circuit breaker? Not in your life! This was one of the few campgrounds where we got good wi-fi service. The best part...we were only charged for one rig! So splitting the cost was $12.33 each. Can't beat that! Oh, the name of the campground that was so accommodating.. The Redwoods RV Resort north of Crescent City, CA. The staff was great to deal with. Joan couldn't believe we were still in California.
We left about 8:30 am for Eureka, Oregon where we visited Old Town Eureka. They have put a lot of effort into restorations and it shows. The waterfront was beautiful. Even though it was Sunday morning, many of the quaint shops were opened for business and a horse-drawn Carriage was ready to take one for a ride. We saw one fabulous Victorian House that is now a Private Men's Club! The two pictures below show one of the restored buildings and I couldn't resist the picture of the door on a bead establishment!
After our visit we headed up the coast stopping at several overlook points along the Oregon Coastal Highway (aka US 101) The views were spectacular! If you have never seen the Oregon Coast, put it on your list of things to see before you die! It was a challenge for three motorhomes to cross the Southbound lane to get into the parking areas. Oh, but did we have fun. Our stop for the night....well... Not so enjoyable. Stay out of this campground unless you like to fish. I had to change campsites 3 times and Amye and Joan twice. The electric outlet on my site was shorted out, so I was moved across the road. Wi-fi was non-existence unless one went to the office and even there it was iffy. Joan's sight was fifthy from animal droppings where no one cleaned up after their pets. This campground was really a fish-camp with a big fish cleaning area and the campground smelled like it, too. I won't post the name. If you want it, I will tell you this. It is north of Winchester Bay before one gets to Reedsport on the right hand side of the highway going north. We left this morning at 8am to continue our trek north. One of the first things we did was backtrack to the Umpqua Lighthouse. We had stopped at several yesterday and had 4 more to do today. The highlight of the day was stopping at an overlook near the Sea Lion Cave. Not only was the sight of the Heceta Lighthouse stunning, but we got to watch two gray whales in the area and several sea lions on the rocks below the viewpoint. The whales didn't seem to be migrating north, but staying in the same area. I felt that it must have been a good place for breakfast for them. I am tired so I will post more pictures tomorrow. Until then.... (snoring sounds)
Great pics, Mom. Glad you are back having a grand time on the road. But 3 of you in one site?!!! You don't see that often. Most CG's won't let you do that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great coastal tour you're all enjoying. 101 is easier to take it south, have done it both ways and love the scenery, beaches and lighthouses. Amazing to get all the TTTs on one site. Of course that left two more to rent. All RV parks are not equal. I'd have been in that bead shop for hours.
