It took us 10 hours to get home from Glendale.

We left Kathi and Bobs just before 9:00 and drove to Wolf Creek where we filled the gas tank on Plan “B”. Then we got on I-5 and headed to Grants Pass where we got onto 199 heading west.

When we arrived at the little town of O’Brian, we stopped at the RV park there to see if they had an RV dump station. They did not so we continued west until we came to another large RV park just 9 miles west of Crescent City. The office was closed so we just helped ourselves to their dump station. After dumping we continued west until we got to US 101 where we turned south.

The drive on 199 is a little narrow in spots

but is pretty scenic as a lot of it follows the Smith River

and goes through redwood forests.

 

We had planned to stop at Becky and Dennis’ for a visit but they were not going to be home so we decided to just make a bee line for Santa Rosa.

It was a little fogy along the coast but that made it nice and cool.

We only stopped twice on 101.
Once at a rest stop for lunch and a short nap.
I went to use the toilette at the rest stop and they didn’t have any TP. Can you believe it? The highest taxed state in the west and they can’t even provide toilette paper at the rest stops. Fortunately we had some TP in the RV.

We crossed the Klamath river bridge. It is presently under repair.

We stopped again at Ukiah to get some gas and got home just a little after 7:00.

It was a long drive and we were both very tired.
But we are home now so we can relax for a while.
