Avenue of the Giants, California
May 4 - May 10, 2025
We were happy to leave Clear Lake behind and head into the Redwoods State and National Parks. This part of 101 sometimes winds between Giant Redwoods right at the edge of the road! Unlike Clear Lake, everything in the Redwoods is pristine. A nice change. We stayed at Ancient Trees RV Park in the midst of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The camp hosts were incredible - always mowing, trimming, cleaning! Laundry room = 8.5 out of 10.
Our campsite was gorgeous with views of the redwoods right out our windshield front window. Neighbors were quiet and basically like us...old. Lots of dogs. Cool thing is - and we forgot to take pic of this - one couple had two cats who chilled outside in two net enclosures connected by a tube! Our neighbor also had a cat who was allowed to explore while hooked up the RV. We had to make sure we were not allowing animal outings at the same time as Klaus is a ferocious and skilled cat hunter. grrr ... someone got ahold of the keyboard.
In our tree bowl campsite we were able to have campfires again! As we get further north, the sunset comes later. It was very strange waiting till 8:30 to start the campfire and it wasn't fully dark till almost 9. By the time we get to Canada, sunset won't be until almost 10.

We are getting pretty good at getting everything set up after we land and try not to kill each other backing in/guiding in to our site. Every couple does this! It is basically gender based roles which Sue is embarrassed about -- (not driving the RV) but oh well.
