Day 88 – We were up by 7:45 this morning, 34 degrees & sunny. The fires rage on in Southern CA. A campground we’d planned to stay at in early January was destroyed last night when the fire reached the Ocean. We’re staying here another night, then going a short distance to just below Mendocino, to stay in an independent RV park with full hook-ups for several nights. Gotta clean out the tanks, and this park is located near some things we wanted to do.

Day 87 – I slept in this morning, not getting up until 8:45. Rob was up at 7:30 a.m., & it was 34 degrees out & sunny. I am a slow riser – I’m not one of those people who bound out of bed in the morning, ready to start the day. Rob, on the other hand, can get up & out fairly quickly. As I stumble around in the morning, waiting for my head to clear, it’s often the perfect time for him to take his morning coffee constitutional outside. He came back this morning from his walk with lots of bird pictures to go through & prepare for the blog. It works out well. He knows better than to rush me out the door, LOL.

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN.
Day 86 – 32 degrees again this morning & a little icy out when Rob took his walk. No clouds, sunny, beautiful day. We heard this morning that there are now huge fires in Ventura, and due to the annual Santa Ana winds, they are out of control. This is crazy.

Day 85 – Beginning of Week 13. Frost on the old pumpkin this morning, 32 degrees, 8 a.m., sunny, not a cloud in the sky. The girls still lovin’ the sun on the dashboard. Rob took a walk to the beach, wanted to see how close to the campsite it was. Just a short trail thru some woods & there it was. Roads to the Day Use Area were still closed. He found that the parking lot area for Lake Cleone was partially underwater, and it was part mud, part ice to get on the boardwalk which circles the Lake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY! WE HOPE YOU HAD A FANTASTIC DAY! SEE YOU SOON. (We’ll let you know the exact dates as soon as we know when we’ll get there. It’s hard to say right now since we’re making our way very slowly south, but a guess would be last few days in Dec. or first few days in Jan., somewhere in that range. We can’t wait to see everyone!)
Day 84 – We were up at 7:45 a.m., raining lightly (rained all night), 39 degrees. It seems like a good day to change campgrounds, having adequately covered most of this area, but we sure would like to go to that restaurant again! Last night there was another camper here & someone in one of the cabins, but no one close to us. This is such a beautiful Park; people are missing out on this one. We’ve decided to go to the coast & north, above Fort Bragg, to MacKerricher State Park. There will be more people, certainly, but there’s so much to do in that area.
