...gateway to the redwoods....




...we arrived in Willits, the gateway to the redwoods around 1 pm...quickly set up camp, unhooked the car and took off on Hwy 20 to Ft.Bragg and Mendocino...as soon as we began our winding 20 mph trip down the mountain we were into the beginning of the redwoods...not so big around but TALL...we were so glad we did not bring the motorhome...our little 33 miles took over an hour...the scenery was beautiful...we had not had contact with our friends since they left Travis AFB two days ago...we did not know the campground or even which town they were staying in...no cell phone service...we wanted to see the coast and Mendocino,anyway, so we thought we'd ride around and then head back to Willits and hope to hear from them later...driving into Mendocino was like driving into a movie scene of little cottage houses with huge gardens of flowers along the coastline...so pretty...lots of shops...and who do we see walking the streets...our friends!!!!....we hooked up again and made plans to head north to the Redwoods State Park tomorrow...unfortunate for them, they have to drive the motorhomes back over Hwy 20 to Willits...
