First stop was in Coalinga, CA - good RV spot- luckily they were not busy or I may have had to pay to park the Explorer. We stayed at Sommerville Almond Tree RV Park, close to the freeway but without the noise.
Most of the roads in CA we found to be terribly rough. We also saw lots of orchards along the drive to be very healthy looking and others that were totally dead - assuming from the drought.
Next stop after 237 miles, was Dunnigan, CA. We stayed at Happy Time RV Park. Lots of trees and since we were so long no one could get around us so they parked us in one of the end sites - probably the only site in the park that would work for us with the trailer.
Third stop was in Yreka, CA after 220 miles, at Yreka RV Park. This park was another with easy freeway traffic but was up on a hill far enough to not hear the freeway traffic. This park has 80 foot sites and we had actually stayed there last year on our way to CA.
Once we started up towards Shasta, we finally ran into mountains, green trees, green grass, and green bushes. It started looking like a jungle since we had only seen brown landscape for so long. It was great to be back in familiar territory. But of course, it immediately got cooler and wetter!
We had the coach at Oregon MotorCoach for the full 2 weeks and while they were repainting, we had to be out of the coach for 8 nights. The facility is set up so great for people and dogs while waiting for the repairs to be made. They have a lounge setup inside (dogs are welcome) and they have a nice deck that we enjoy on the warm days. It turned out great as it was Mother's Day weekend, so we traveled to Yelm, WA where Craig's parents live and celebrated Mother's Day with the family.
In Eugene, we found a great Thai place that we visited a couple of times during the two weeks. Huge portions, great spices and a great selection. We would highly recommend it, but you have to get past the outside appearance - yellow trailer.
