Back to the Coast

Once again we are back to the Pacific coast; at least we think so.  We can hear the foghorns and the seals barking this morning, but the fog was too thick to see any water yesterday.  The sun was shining brightly about 10 minutes drive from the coast and our waitress said the skies will be like this until March.  We will spend a couple of days in Crescent City California, which is in the very NW corner of the state. 

This area is known for its redwood trees for a good reason.  We saw many on our way into town that were huge, and there are many parks nearby to show them off.

 

We came into town on US199 with the motorhome, and toured around the area with our pickup on CA197 and US101. These roads are narrow and twisty – great for motorcycling if the sun comes out. Bob didn’t shed any tears on our drive!

On the news last night they had an article on the recreational crab fishing which starts today.  Sure wish we knew someone that has extra crab!!  There are lots of seafood restaurants around here though. 

Most of this week we will be in northern California, moving slowly toward the east and Nevada.  We have lots of time to go a fairly short distance.
