The Road To Klamath...

We left Oregon and headed south again...seeing the rest of that beautiful state will have to wait until our next visit.  We are going to visit with family in California one last time before heading east.  Since we had traveled north on I-5, we decided we would take California Hwy 101 South and see the Redwoods on the way.

We had to travel Oregon Hwy 199 to get to Hwy 101...it's like riding a roller coaster, one with beautiful scenery, but still a roller coaster!  Taking photos through the windshield kept me distracted from the twists and turns.  They may not look too bad but, believe me...they're a lot scarier pulling fifteen thousand pounds of RV behind you!  I'm always grateful for Jack's terrific driving skills.

We crossed the border into California and reached Hwy 101 and I finally got to see the Pacific Ocean...foggy and grey, but still...an ocean!  I love the way the coast and the mountains meet...look over the edge and there it is!

We stopped in Klamath to spend a couple of days and stayed at the Golden Bear RV Park. It's a Passport America Park, so the rate was great and it's convenient for an overnight stop.  More than a night or two is a mistake unless you're into fishing, which we're not. It's a basic fishing park located on the Klamath River.  It was chilly and grey while we were there and it's miles from anything... grocery stores, shops, restaurants, cell service, over the air TV. 

We did find a little cafe inside a mini-market the first night called A Good Place To Eat.   The food was actually pretty good, but the prices...$14 for a burger and fries, $20 for a salmon sandwich, $26 for a steak...lots of places I can go at those prices!  We'll stay in Crescent City next time.

As we were hitching up to leave, we noticed water dripping from under the RV that had an unpleasant odor.  Yep...we have a leak in our black holding tank!  Fortunately it started dripping right after we'd emptied the tank, so not too much to leak.  We're lucky we have two bathrooms and two black tanks, so we're able to leave the leaky one unused and empty until we can have it taken care of. Already called Dave, the RV Tech we used in Vacaville; he said it most likely happened when we were getting the tank snaked and pumped out a few weeks ago.  He will come out to look at it when we get to Vacaville later this week.  

It's always something!
