Avenue of the Giants

It was supposed to be a short drive day, so we started later than normal. Heading north on Hwy 101, we took the parallel road called Avenue of the Giants. This was likely the original highway alignment. It was slow and winding through several redwood groves. We stopped on a pull out in one of the groves and walked around. It was very quiet. So quiet that it was deafening! No sound of birds, wind, and even vehicles passing could only be heard 100 yards away. It was like the redwood trees were sucking up the sound. What an experience!
We made a stop at the Walmart in Eureka and got gas at the Costco. We were going to have hotdogs at Costco, but we found the entire parking lot was full. There was no place to park the motorhome. So we found a local restaurant that must be the place for seniors to eat. I think we may have been the youngest customers in the place, but the lunch was very good.
Around 3 pm, we finally got to Sue-Meg State Park. Site 88 was not even near level enough to level up on, so we moved the site 18. It is tighter, but we could level up. Starlink is having a hard time staying online because of the density of trees. We spent the afternoon calling doctors, pharmacies and the insurance company to get Jill’s CGM sensors. We think is is going to work out….tomorrow.Read more
