Monday, July 29, 2015 Travel day to Griffin Park, Grants Pass Oregon
As planned we left at 6am with me in front of the motor home
with flashers on. It was just getting to
be light outside but we wanted to get through the 5 miles that would bring us
to the main highway before anyone was coming into the campground. I tried to get a picture of the coach coming
through the narrowest part of the trees but I didn’t have enough light. But the
pictures that show how close the mirrors were to each side came out. We made it out about 4 miles before we ran
into another vehicle so the tightest part was behind us. Thank Goodness. Anyone reading this do not take your rig to
Albee Creek in the Redwoods State Park.
Mike has had a lot of experience driving tractor trailer and he knows
our coach very well to come through the trees without a scratch.
As we traveled up the coastline the terrain was
beautiful. It just amazes me how
beautiful this Pacific Coast has been. I
can honestly say that I have taken over 4500 pictures. We traveled in and out of the fog most of the
morning. I saw a few places along the
way that I would have liked to stop at but we had an appointment to get
to. I did however make Mike stop when I
saw a herd of elk just lying around in a field.
The mountain roads were good.
There were a few narrow places that had me clenching my seat and taking
my breath away all at the same time but the mountains, trees and river were
exquisite.
We arrived at the tire shop and were in and out within the
hour and we arrived at Griffin Park in Grants Pass, Oregon at around 2. I did some much needed cleaning as we were
dry camping the whole time that we were in the Redwoods. Mike was proud of how well everything worked. The new solar panels did exactly what they
were supposed to do. Amy and I sat
around the camp as the boys explored the waters as tomorrow they were going
fishing. Hopefully we may be eating
fresh fish for dinner.
