Travel to Crescent City

This morning we left the Eureka Elks Lodge and headed north. We stopped at the Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center at the Redwood National and State Parks (that's one National Park and three California State Parks, cooperatively managed as an ecological unit). We learned a lot from the exhibits and from the 12 minute orientation video. A helpful ranger made lots of good suggestions for things we might like to see and do and highlighted a map for us.

We've had a lot of cloudy weather lately, but very little rain. Hope our luck holds.

We are staying at Sunset Harbor RV Park, which is an Escapees discount park. It's a block off Hwy 101, so the traffic noise is not intrusive, but we can hear the foghorn and the sea lions barking in the Crescent City Harbor.

After lunch we drove around the campground at nearby Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park, thinking we might move there. It has a few campsites that might accommodate our rig, but the trees are large and close together and the roads are narrow and winding, so we decided to stay where we are.
