Goodsam, the week

The Breakdown - which turned out quite alright
... 27th 2007, there is a race called a Kinetic Sculpture Race. This race is all about people in 3 of these towns, Ferndale, Fortuna, and Eureka, building crazy bicycles out of anything and made to look like anything just to race 48miles (about 70km). These ...

Day 27 - Eureka to Fortuna

Day 28 - Fortuna
... air and stumbled across a large collective of old cars (mainly Chevys for those that care!) in town for an annual car exhibition. Fortuna is an incredibly surreal town that seems to be frozen in the 1950s from the buildings, to the stock in the shops and ...
Variety Comes in Many Forms
Last night was not one of the most restful - Don woke about 1:30 to discover that the water bay heater was drawing power and we hadn't left the generator on. As a result the battery power level had dropped to the point where the ...
Week One - Settling In
The cold front that holds most of North America in it's grip has kept the weather here on the cool side, Jackets and sweaters are never far away. The nights have reached the single digits C. on several occasions but by noon we have a few ...

... up the tank! We've been through this area several times and had never noticed these signs before! We're back in Fortuna Foothills, a suburb of Yuma in sunshine and are packing for the trip back to Ontario. I'll suspend the blog updates until ...
Humboldt Adventures
Apparently I should've been updating this travel blog while I was actually on my trip.. Being in the middle of nowhere by Fortuna it wouldn't have been possible anyway. I left Thursday morning to drive by myself up HWY 101 into the gorgeous and ...
Just short of Eureka
... so sick that we didn't make it all the way to Eureka, where we had planned to spend the night, but had to stop in Fortuna. Strangely, its shockingly cold in north California! Something about the cold ocean air hitting the warm mainland ...
California Here We Come!
You got Mark's entertaining blog yesterday, today it's back to normal (but you'll get him again tomorrow). We continued our drive south along the Oregon coast, with more beautiful views along the way. We crossed Thomas Creek Bridge, the ...

... the golf cart and run down the street, (3/4 mile) get water and return.. I'm sure you get the picture... Today we moved to Fortuna Pond about 16 miles from our last spot, here, we're parked on a dirt path around Fortuna Pond... a 10 or 12 acre ...

Good time spent with everyone. The first thirty miles leaving were the hardest; I wanted to turn around so ...
Elks and Giant Redwoods

Redwood - Prairie Creek
Ráno lehce mžilo, tak se nám ani moc nechtělo ze spacáků. Nakonec jsme přece jen vstali a po snídani jsme vyrazli dál napříč Redwoodem. Zastavili jsme se na místě zvaném The Mystery Tree, kde je možné ...
Another Change in Weather
We checked out the 'Mexican' market in Yuma the other day looking for bargains. Didn't find anything to bring home. Today gave us another change in weather - rain. It is only the second rain day that Joan and Fred have experienced since they ...
This road NOT for RV's
So we left the avenue of the giants and headed for Chico, CA. Google maps showed a straight shot east for 150 miles on highway 36, so off we went. The first few miles were pretty much like what we had seen, but after about 30 miles the ...
Settling In

Another Day . . . Yes It Can get More Spectacular
Another morning walk revealed more yard art and this evening proved that, yes, it can get more spectacular! Everyone is staying quiet these days as there is a nasty virus on the rounds and no one feels very ...
Dust Storms and Date Shakes
When the wind blows, the sand moves! There isn't a lot of vegetation in this part of the desert and the wind quickly picks up the sand and creates 'dunes', leaving much of the surface 'gravelled' with stones of mixed size. We are on the ...
Moon over the Foothills
We got back to Yuma last Wednesday night. Getting parked again was challenging - the ground where we originally parked was still soft from the rain and all of a sudden we realized one side of the coach was sinking! ...almost a ...
Jelly Bellies, Giant trees & Christmas lights.
