Day 5 was a long drive from Fort Bragg, Calif. to Brookings, Ore. We knew it would be a long day to begin with because Hwy 1 is extremely narrow and twisty between Fort Bragg up to US-101.
In addition to the slower driving, all along the way on both highways there were countless delays due to construction. Most of the work appeared to be related to damage from the relentless winter storms.
We are at At Rivers Edge RV Resort for two nights. It is very nice and lives up to its name well. Still very cool weather with morning fog/marine layer that cleared out about midday. After yesterday’s almost 8 hour drive, we decided to stay hooked up to the trailer and spend another today enjoying the environment rather than going exploring. I love to drive, yet, I appreciate “no drive” days too.
The resort, while not large, is extremely well organized, maintained, clean and orderly, and super nice staff. There’s a nice mixture of overnight travelers like us, longer term guests and seasonal guests. There are several spots dedicated to more full time living too. With the exception of a couple spaces, all are kept well. They also have a nice selection of yurts and various size rental cabins.
Tomorrow is Thursday, July 20th, and will pull out early to head to Diamond Lake, which puts us near Crater Lake. Another long drive because we are thinking about taking an exploratory detour along the way.
