Two days in Arcata, CA
Well, we survived another day of twisty narrow roads coming down the California coastline. Hwy 101 was beautiful through the Redwood forests. Not a bad trip at all until we got to Arcata, CA. The town has two strrets named Janes Rd and they are nowhere near each other. AAA, Good Sams and the GPS never knew where to take us so we got supremely lost in the local farm country on some of the worst two lane road imaginable! After winding around for almost an hour we finally got back on track and made it to the campground, Mad River Rapids RV park. It is another very nice park with great ammenities.
Just before we got to Arcata we passed a large field full of Elk! One very large bull, several smaller males and a harem of females all around the field. What a sight it was! We will try and get the pictures of them uploaded later today.
Today we are off to visit the local marshes and check out the bird life in the area. This retired life is pretty darned nice I must say.
Hello to Wesley, Anna and R.J. in Florida, see you soon..
Phil & Lydia
