A pefect place to camp and relax

Today has been one of these truly perfect days, it is what life in an RV is all about. Woke to a very clear cooler morning, the air was fresh. Last night we had been talking with Pam from Napa Valley. We met Pam and Gary in 2010 on our Alaska travels and became good friends, but sadly the following year Gary passed away after a short battle with cancer. Pam mentioned a great campsite that they had stayed at which overlooks the coast on Route 1, it just sounded like our sort of place.

We travelled north on Route 101 through Mendocino County with Willie Nelson singing away, it was a really great drive through some ranch country and then climbing into the hills. At Leggett we took Route 1 out to the coast, Pam had mentioned that it was quite a windy road, and the sign at the start said vehicles over 40 feet not permitted so knew what we were in for, but the traffic was light and we managed it fine.

And then we found the campground right on the coast, just WOW. Found a great site, it was early afternoon so poured a glass of wine and had lunch and lazed the afternoon away in the warm sun. Had our first campfire of the trip while Ian cooked spare ribs for dinner…..perfect!
