South Beach State Park is located right in the heart of Newport, Oregon right along the coast. The campground has almost 300 sites for both RVs and tenters. This equates to 9 loops, A-I. We were there just before peak season started and loops E-I were closed but we still

Cape Blanco State Park – Port Orford, Oregon
We drove from Brookings to Cape Blanco and stopped a number of times at the Samuel H. Boardman State Park and the Pistol River State Park. There are nice pull outs along the way to stop and soak in the vistas. We eventually made our way to Cape Blanco, the

We made it to Oregon! After a lovely drive on Hwy 101 from Paso Robles, California to the Oregon border (over a period of time) we decided to stop in Brookings for awhile. Brookings is the southern most town on the Oregon coast and known for growing nearly 90% of

Humboldt Redwoods State Park is located in northern California and covers approximately 53,000 acres full of giant redwoods.

We headed north on Hwy 101 from Willits on up to Myers Flat in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park area. For the most part, Hwy 101 is not real bad as far as tight curves and narrow roads, those qualities that people who drive big rigs don’t like too much.

Next stop is Mendocino County. We know that there are many stretches along Hwy 1 that are not ideal for driving a big rig with a tow vehicle, especially Fort Bragg to Leggett, but we really wanted to tour the Mendocino Coast. So we thought we would find a place

“The Birds” Filming Locations Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” (1963), forever cemented in many of our brains to haunt us through eternity, was filmed in multiple locations in California but two of the main locations in the Bodega Bay area were in both the town of Bodega and the town of

I first watched Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” when I was a young girl and it scared the bejesus out of me!! Every year I would get together with the neighborhood kids and we would watch the movie together, usually in the summertime when it was hot and all the windows

We choose this RV park since our friends live in Morgan Hill and we were stopping by for a visit with them on our way north. It made a perfect stopping point between Pinnacles National Park and Bodega Bay (our next destination) and allowed time for a few evenings of
