Leaving Brookings, Oregon for California

Here is a picture of me on "Easy Street". It didn't feel any different than any other street. I think we may have been misinformed all these years concerning "Easy Street".
Because the intersection is a "Y" there is no place for a stop sign, so this is a rubber flap that says "Stop" in the center of the lane. I had never seen anything like this. I wonder how this works in the snow?
Here's Kim in California along the Smith River ("A Wild and Scenic River").

We will be leaving Brookings, OR today for California. We are just six miles from the California line. Kim has a reservation at a campground for two days somewhere. I am somewhat oblivious to where we are going and that suits me just fine. I sometimes feel sorry for Kim because she makes a lot of the decisions, but I really don’t care where we go or what we do. I just love adventure and the looseness of how we are traveling. When we get where we are going, we will look around for two days and talk with our camping neighbors who will offer lots of good advice on what to see and do and where to shop and most important – where to eat. If there’s a lot to do, we’ll stay longer. Yesterday morning we traveled in the car north down some winding roads and then back south along highway 101 which is the road we brought into Brookings with the MH. Unfortunately the weather continued rainy, cloudy and about sixty degrees. We have met a great many people who said they live here because they just love the weather. They say in the winter they will get weather like I just described for three days and then sunshine for about three days. The good news is that the rain makes the plants and grass green. Kim and I are just a little late for the good weather and couple that with the fact that this weather we’ve been having is a month early. Anyway, we’ve been living in 55 - 60 degrees, rain and clouds for about 3 weeks and we’re ready for some sunshine. People say we won’t get it much along the coast though. We’d have to go inland a few miles.

Yesterday afternoon we went south to California with the car. We visited some redwood forests and once inland ten miles or so the weather cleared up. The trees are just HUGE. We’ll get some pictures later. I want to drive through the “Avenue of the Giants”. We will be traveling with the MH just a few hours today. Last night when we got home about 5 we washed the car, trailer and MH. It really needed it. We still have some chores, but not nearly as many as living in a house. We had a neighbor who stopped by and talked for about half the time. Many campgrounds don’t allow washing vehicles. Upon checking in, they give you a list of rules. Most are good in that they keep order and keep the noise down. A few parks don’t allow pets and we stayed at one that had a twenty pound pet limit. Some specify certain breeds they don’t allow. We have been at some that don’t want us to go to the trash bins because of the bears. We are to put our trash out between 9 & 10 AM and they come by with a pickup and gather it.
