    Although we had to drive only 45 miles to our new campsite at the Mystic Forest RV Park, there was significant road construction that slowed us considerably.

    We stopped in Crescent City, CA, to do a quick grocery shop and eat some lunch. We arrived at the Mystic Forest at about 1:30 pm. Our host, Patrick, checked us in. There's no cell service here for our AT&T phones, but they do have WiFi. Patrick was careful to note that there are bears and wild animals here and to keep food out only when eating or cooking. (BTW, mt lion was spotted in our last campground while we were there.)

    We set up the camper next to a huge old redwood stump that is now providing a place for other trees to grow. We also took a short hike through the forest. No living huge redwoods, but lots of other trees and plants. Some younger redwoods. We did see a lot of big trees on the drive into the campground from Crescent City.    Read more
