Gadzooks!! We're in Eureka, CA


Sunday, June 6, 2010 ~ 59 degrees

Hello all!! We just "set up camp" & are getting ready to ride into the historic downtown district for a little sightseeing & regrouping. We'll be here for the next few days (having a new clutch put in the Jeeper at the local dealership it seems ~ can't have outings like this without some kind of "issue").


We have been riding on some very scenic, narrow, winding & hilly roads for the past 2 days & it feels SO good to "be still" even if it is mainly for mechanical issues. Saturday AM, we left Healdsburg, CA (the northern wine country ~ that's a whole 'nother story) for Mendocino (on the coast ~Hwy #1). This AM, we left Mendocino & came directly here, to Eureka. Not that far mileage wise BUT the roads are as I explained above & that makes the journey time consuming & somewhat exhausting.


The weather is not the best but it's very scenic here & the area offers a lot to do; Redwood Forests, fishing, hiking, historic areas ~ ya'll there's even a real mall, I may have to go there to buy something.......anything.


Nick is not really a fan of curvy mountain roads so he's a little skiddish. He really likes it when we are stationary & there's grass to "do his business" on. We are all well & safe; that's what counts.


We are off! Talk to you all later.


xoxox to all
