morning per Larry’s request it wasn’t raining 
and the wind had stopped. It was even warm (at least compared to what it had been). So getting ready to hit the road was a pleasant experience compared to the cold and wind we had been experiencing which would have made the outside work miserable.
We had a pleasant drive north on 101 to Eureka. Water was running out of the hillsides and creeks were raging from all the rain the last couple of days. It became warmer the farther north we headed, which seemed really weird. In lots of places as we climbed the coast range the clouds were hugging the hilltops.
Near Confusion Hill in the Redwoods there is a huge rerouting of the highway being done. I wish I could have gotten some pictures (hard to find a place to pullout with your home attached to the back of the truck), the two huge towering bridge supports that they had in place across the river were something to see. It will eventually bypass a piece of road that is always having landslides and rocks. The Eel River was wide and muddy brown with all the rain run off.
We left Ukiah at 10:20 and arrived at the Fairgrounds in Eureka at 2:00. We traveled 159
miles, a nice easy travel day, the kind we like. It is $20 a night here with full hook-ups but with Escapees, Good Sam or AAA you get $5 off a night. It is on Harris Street which is 
busy during the day but quiet at night. There is a fire station across the street but we didn’t hear anything from them after 
we went to bed. The fog snuck in shortly after we got setup. We do dislike being in damp, humid locations, but as we are only visiting…ah, the life.
