The rain finally stopped (Klamath, CA) and Sam and I went out to have a look. The river was up about 10 feet! Of course, some of it was due to high tide, but the slow draining river was also backed up with the huge amount of rain. Folks said they had never seen the river so high. They either were not here or have forgotten the devastating floods this area has survived in the past that would have left our coach underwater! Luckily, we didn't see that much rain.
They had to put waders on to walk out the dock to their boats.
It was time to pack up and head further down the road. We traveled 115.5 miles (4,693.6 trip/64,174.7 total) south on US 101 to the Humboldt Redwoods State Park area.
Iconic Eucalyptus trees along Hwy 101.
An interesting mural alongside Hwy 101, passing through Eureka.
We stopped at what seemed like a nice little park, Giant Redwoods RV Camp, on the Eel River in the tiny town of Myers Flat. Unfortunately, it was our first experience with poor, outdated park wiring. The voltage level was so low our power protection circuit shut down. Except for water, we really were boondocking. On the plus side - the new restrooms had the nicest showers we have seen. I would estimate the shower was 6 feet by 8 feet and it had heated floors! How deluxe is that?
