Trinidad, CA & Lighthouse

Yesterday, Monday, we drove about 200 miles from North Bend, OR to Trinidad, CA.  It was a very scenic drive but it was rainy....that made me very nervous in the mountains with the sharp curves on a two way hwy 101. 

We had breakfast with Bob and JoAnn Srutka and then said our goodbyes.  It was nice spending time with them.

These pictures below were all taken from the Coach as we drove to Trinidad, CA.

The beach cows....the ocean is in the background.

This is a historic bridge...

This is the bridge on the left.

It is beginning to get very cloudy.

The rain is really coming down.  Nice colorful bus, huh?

The boulders are huge in the ocean.

This small town has a traffic jam after an accident ....

This gives me time to take pictures as we are stopped in traffic.

Then the traffic caused by road construction....

We are at the California Stateline....at the Agriculture Inspection station.

 

We enter the Redwood National Park....

Part of a beautiful mural....

Wood art....

More of the Ocean...

Hate those curves...

This sight was from my side....but no shoulder!   Scary!

CAT at work on this cliff!

This is just so beautiful!  It has started to clear now.  Hope we get no more rain.

The leaves are beginning to change color.  

We arrived at the Casino where we will spend the night.   This was a very steep mountain we climbed up here. The casino is way below.   We have a beautiful view of the ocean from up here, though.

The view from to one side....

The view to the other...

You can see the white car in the center left of the picture where the street is below.

This morning we drove down the mountain to eat breakfast.   We moved to Arcata, CA which is only a few miles down the road.

We then walked to the ocean to view the lighthouse.  This is a beautiful place to walk....

This is a beautiful little town to visit.  We will park the Coach at Mad River Rapids RV Park in Arcata, CA.
