From there we moved down to Crescent City, CA where we hoped for some good riding weather. The Hiouchi RV Park is actually just outside Crescent City and close to the Jedediah Smith State Park. The rate was good since it was a Passport America park. The park is very nice, quiet, scenic and we would definitely stay there again.
We did get out for a 150 or so mile ride through the redwoods and down the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) or US 101. We stopped for lunch just north of Eureka, CA and then headed back. What a perfect day!
We sat out another day of rain and this morning headed north on US 101. More great coastal views, we stopped at a pull-off for a scenic lunch. We could have sat there all day...LOL!
In Coos Bay we visited the local Harley dealer where they had a nice display of 1959 Harley's. Stu got his requisite state t-shirt, lucking into a good buy on a shirt from a local run. Next on the list...Washington state!
We continued on another 10 or so miles to Lakeside where we found another Passport America park for the night, Osprey Point RV Resort/Marina. The afternoon had cleared a little, after driving in rain off & on all day, and we managed a nice walk before settling in for the evening.
Tomorrow we will continue our meander up the coastline. We plan to stop and visit the Sea Lion Caves and have no idea how far we will travel. We have plenty of time to get to our campground in Washington so no need to rush.

I too am not blogging. I'm beginning to think I'm not doing anything of interest.
