On the road, destination redwoods. We take the 880 around San Francisco to San Rafael. Stop for a quick bite at McDonald's. Get back into the van to leave and IT WON'T START!!! Not again! Why does our faithful VW Vanagon only do this when we go on vacation? Doesn't she know we got a personalized license plate for her that reads GUD HPNS (Good Happens)? I get out and push and Fred pops the clutch. We find our way to the local VW dealership. Of course now she starts up each time. Nothing to do but go on our merry way. We'll just have to make sure to park on a downhill slope each time. No bid deal, we've done this before on vacation. Besides, we are heading for the redwoods and life is good.
It's now pouring as we drive north (see photo). We arrive at the Avenue of The Giants and find our way to Burlington Campground in Humboldt Redwood State Park. It's only raining slightly now. We find a good downhill sloping site. Fred builds a fire and I pour a couple cocktails - margarita for him, cosmo for me. It's soup & crackers for dinner. Some warm Cafe d'Vita while we read. Lights out.
