Finally, most of the storm had blown through and we headed to our next site just two days behind schedule. When we called Bob at Chinook RV Resort about our aversion to traveling in the 60 mph crosswinds he said "no problem".
Fortunately, this was another short hop, just 73.0 miles (80,010.8 total), because there was a lot of, let's just call it excitement, on our drive today. We saw more rain, curvy and narrow road, hills (Joani hates the downhill ride with sharp turns at the bottom the most). Just to add to the excitement, there were the bicyclers and construction zones.
Several places the trees were so close to the road they had gouges in them from passing rear view mirrors - fortunately, we kept our distance. Still, the drive was beautiful between the forests and the dramatic ocean vistas.
We stayed at Chinook RV Resort a little more than 3 years ago. It was prime Salmon fishing season then (September) and the park was full. This time the fishing season was over and the folks in the park were, like us, here for the Redwoods. Bob arranged it so we could have our doors facing each other creating our own little outdoor space. The river was high and rushing along due to the recent rains. From the fire pit at the river's edge, we could hear the crashing surf.
