First Day Away

It's our first evening on the road. We had planned to stay at a casino in North Bend Oregon, but we got there around noon and everything was going so smoothly that we decided to keep going. Our next goal was the Wal-Mart in Crescent City California, but when we got there we saw signs all over the place that said "No overnight camping". So, we back tracked a few miles and parked our rig at the local KOA. A bit expensive if you ask me, but we've got full hookups and high speed internet access, so I guess that is the price you pay for "roughing it"...

I am impressed with the truck. Plenty of power and nice and smooth. No surprises. We were treated to some pretty fantastic weather and views of the ocean. I prefer the winding road of highway 101 along the ocean to the straight and speedy interstate 5.

Tomorrow, we head into the Arcata/Eureka area to meet with my parents before we head further south. It's only a couple hours drive from here, so we'll take it slow and maybe spend an hour or so on the beach somewhere to let the girls explore and the dog run around.

All is well tonight. Some wine, beer and early bedtime will make this evening a relaxing one.
