I admit I was very anxious about the situation. We had some wind gusts and rain on the night after the flood and I was wide awake all night. We had received lots of information about tsunami in the area and started planning how we would escaped if there were an earthquake and tsunami- and no road out. Phil and I decided that we were not comfortable with the situation at the park and let the owners know that we were pulling out as soon as the bridge was complete.When the excavator made its final pass there were guests lined up to exit the park. We left the following morning. I was very relieved when Phil made it to the other side of the little makeshift bridge with the motorhome.
We headed down 101 and with daylight running out spend Black Friday in a mall parking lot i Eureka. We actually went into the mall in search of some dinner and I bought a pair of boots at the Boot Barn (something we had tried to do but failed during our drive across the West) I can't believe we actually went shopping on Black Friday!!
We managed to avoid mall security for the night and took the dogs for a walk in the morning and stumbled into a disturbing homeless settlement in the scrubby woods around the mall. We loaded up ad hit the road for a short 20 miles drive to Fortuna where we checked into a super nice and dry RV park. After 30 seconds both Phil and I agreed we should stay here for a few days to regain our composure.
We hooked up the RV and went for a drive along the Avenue of the Giants and enjoyed spending time with the beautiful trees. We are spending the next few days walking among the trees and talking to the insurance adjuster. Phil is planning to go golfing and I am going horseback riding.
We are not sure of our next move we are looking at Camp Host jobs in California......stay tuned! In the meantime here are some photos. Enjoy!
