Ed - As I was getting the RV ready to leave, the RV power cord came apart. Of course I do not have the tools that are required to fix it. The bolts broke in the sleeves and one of the hidden nuts was turning freely and I could not get it apart. After much creative discusion with the plug, I was able to remove it from the cord. There is a local ACE hardware store in Cresent City and they helped me disassemble the plug - with a hacksaw - and the sold me bolts and nuts to reassemble it. I quickly put it back together and we were able to head out only an hour late for the next leg of the trip. The drive was through huge redwood trees on narrow, winding, curvy, hilly roads. All day was like this, except for when we were waiting on road construction.
Barb - Our day started out with the need to find a hardware store, as Ed has likely described. RVs are great in many ways, but the continuous movement is hard on some components - or, if they're not well made, they require some rebuilding. We got the opportunity to reglue the front of a 2nd cabinet door today - the first one happened sometime in Wyoming.
Back to the scenic views on the road...our drive took us through more tall redwood parks and several nice ocean view turnouts before Hwy. 101 went back to the southeast. It was still forested but the ground is mighty dry. We always would like to stop and see more things than we do - heard a neat summary of the historic downtown area of Eureka, CA and we drove through there today! The campground that we chose today was quite a nice one, so sometimes you get some good surprises!
