California State Route 1 is probably the most challeng- ing road I have traveled. The curves are so sharp that the RV crosses the yellow line in the turn between the front 
and back wheels. A good part of the drive today was just that tight. Curve after curve after curve. Luckily, the view of the Pacific was spectacular from the golden hills and shear cliffs of Cali
fornia to blue hued Pacific crashing against the cliffs. It is spectacular.The plan was to traverse Route 1 all the way to Leggett, CA in two days. It is just too curvy to make in one day. We stayed at a campground in Mendocino, just south of Fort Bragg. The campground is located right on the ocean. We got settled in and Elizabeth made us a wonderful dinner. Kevin and Felicity had a great campsite and that evening invited us over for s'mores. We sat around and enjoyed the campfire. (Felicity is a bit of a pyro-maniac.) It was a good day.
The next morning Elizabeth and I took a walk to the ocean. It was chilly but a nice morning. We broke camp and headed north. Just as we got under way we stopped at fruit stand and bought some Bing Cherries that were grown locally. They were fantastic. Today, we see the Coastal Redwoods. That will be glorious. -Alan
