Sometimes, the highs and lows of life come toward you at a rapid fire pace. Yesterday, we were parked on a bluff, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, almost like a scene from a postcard. This morning, we are parked at Cummins West in Redding, CA. We went from the sound of ocean waves crashing onto the beach, to a squelling engine noise that necessitated a stop in Redding. We made it to the Cummins Shop just before they closed, and they will take a look at the engine this morning. It sounds like a loose fan belt, and I'm hopeful that it's nothing serious. There are two things that are givens, when it comes to RV's. 1. They depreciate faster than a falling rock. 2. They are going to break. Just think if you took your house and subjected it to a constant 6.0 earthquake, what the consequences might be. Well, that's kind of what is going on when you drive a motor home down the highway. We've been on some highways where that earthquake was more like an 8.0!
This was the beautiful setting where we spent the afternoon and night of 9/12. This spot is near Myers Creek which is a part of the Pistol River State Park. The fog stayed away, until we left on the morning of 9/13.
A view of the large turnout from the beach. Almost directly above the motor home, there is a house, from which there is an incredible view of the ocean in both directions.
Sami and Dad playing on the beach.
Who needs to buy a million dollar beach house when we have this kind of view from inside our traveling beach house. That's one of the great things about an RV. You aren't limited to the same vacation home, now matter how beautiful the setting might be.
I took several pictures of the sunset, as the light disappeared between the rocks. This parking spot is firmly imprinted in our memory banks, and will definitely be a place that we will stop in the future. We'll keep our fingers crossed that Oregon doesn't adopt California's policy of prohibiting overnight parking along the coast highway.
