We left Chinook RV Park this morning and continued driving down Pacific Coast Hwy 101 moving further inland. We will not be driving the scenic route CA State Hwy 1 down the beautiful coast of California. I wish we could, but that route is better suited to be driven with a car, not a 34′ motor home with a car in tow. Some people may do it, but it’s not for us. Our mission now is to move east and get ourselves onto Interstate 5 but there are mountains to get around. We drove 215 miles, leaving the scenic Pacific Coast Hwy 101 South and going east on Hwy 20, stopping for the night at Coyote Valley Shodakai Casino by Redwood Valley, CA. This is a very small casino, but they have a large gravel parking lot in the back where we are allowed to stay for no more than 24 hours.

The weather is changing as we move further south. Until now it has been in the 60’s during the day and in the 40’s or 50’s overnight, and wet. Today was over 70 and the forecast for the week is 80 degrees every day, and dry!
