Continuing northward

Leaving Ocean Cove and heading north, we hit one of the sharpest, steepest turns... especially if you're towing... Hwy 1 has to offer on the way to Albion River Campground in Little River. Once we arrive in Little River, it's another steep, narrow, winding road down to the campground. It's rainy, so the water is a little high, and the RV park is right at the mouth of the Albion River, so at high tide, it's one of the most frightening places I've stayed. (Yes, I do have a wild imagination!) We stay two nights, and I am anxious to move on!



Our last stay along the coast is in Fort Bragg at Pomo RV Park. No ocean views from Pomo, which at this point, I'm okay with. The sites are nice and private with trees and shrubs creating a partition from your neighbors.

While we're in Fort Bragg, we check out the Asian Fusion restaurant. It's very highly rated, so we're anticipating great Thai food. We're a little disappointed with the food, but the service was great. It's a family run place, and the waitress did her best to make the whole experience good.



We spent some time walking along the Noyo Headlands. The trail there eventually led to Glass Beach. It's kind of interesting to see, but also a disturbing reminder of how much garbage had to be thrown into the sea to create this.

















We follow Hwy 1 north, which eventually turns into Hwy 101 and heads inland. Our next destination is the Ancient Redwoods RV Park in Redcrest.









It's raining while we are there, but we still manage a hike on the Rockefeller Loop in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.












Rain and redwoods do seem to go together.





Our final stop in California is the Klamath River RV Park in Klamath. Klamath River RV Park is just a beautiful, green park with river views from almost everywhere. It's far enough off of 101 that it's quiet and peaceful. 






It's a pretty low key area, so one of our chosen activities is sitting, sipping and watching the river flow by.

While we are there, we take a drive along Klamath Beach road... 
We follow it as it winds its way up a hill until we find ourselves at High Bluff Overlook looking back down to the spot the Klamath meets the ocean.
