Headed South

     From Tillamook to Florence along the coast highway 101, it was very cold and windy. When we walked the dogs in the morning, I noticed that Tux’s neck was bloody, so we stopped in Newport Beach and took him to a very nice vet. The verdict: Marshall bit him. So now he’s on antibiotics along with his Benadryl and vitamins. The campground in Florence was very nice, but because of the cold and wind, we couldn’t even sit outside. So I was forced to make jambalaya for dinner. We left Saturday morning at 6:30 to avoid the wind and headed for Yreka, CA. Great scenery, scary mountain passes. Great shot of Mt. Shasta.

 

Arrived at a nice quiet campground after lunch. Went exploring in Yreka and found a unique bar called Capp’s Speakeasy. The bartender filled us in on the history of the place and let us take pictures. We also bought some chili butter that they make there. Carman cooked chicken on the grill with it, but it wasn’t as spicy as we thought it would be.

We decided to stay another day just to relax. There was a Walmart just a few blocks away, but it didn’t have groceries, so we had to visit a Raley’s for fruit and veggies.
