Enjoyed seeing your pictures and it really made me so SAD that we missed our 14 day stay there......Next year for us for sure I hope the Sccampers do go back  it'll be so much more fun with the group....

Awesome pictures Dieter, thanks for posting them. How far up the coast did you go? Beaches sure don't compare to Southern Calif., do they?

We got back Friday afternoon.  We had a great time, beautiful campground.  Keep your eyes peeled, I will post in the next few days regarding nexts years rally.

As usually, neither one of us is much on taking pictures and our camera never left it's spot in the car.  Will have to steal a few that are posted. Thanks.

Howdy all!  We are currently driving through Sacramento on the way home.

Bonnie - thanks for planning such an awesome rally!  We really enjoyed the campground and the area.  We'd love a repeat next year if it works out!

Azusateach and Kevin Quigley - Thank you both for the directions and pep talk to ignore the GPS and take the trailer over the Golden Gate.  We hit it at sunrise and oh my - it was beautiful!!!!!!

We can now say that we have driven the 101 from start to finish.  Oregon coast - beautiful as always and the drive in WA was great.  We stopped for gas in Forks - setting for the Twilight books.  I was a happy camper!!!:D

Our "RV park" in Sequim was the only reservation we could get on our short notice.  It was horrid - made me want to crawl into the fetal position and suck my thumb.  It was very residential with the average rig age being at least 20 years old and was 10 feet from the street.  the site was dead grass and littered with cig butts.  You haven't lived until you've been greeted by several inebriated residents - lacking teeth but not cold cans of Budweiser! LOL!!!  Needless to say - we hung out at Gramma's house...a LOT:yikes:

Finished it up with a stay on the Rogue River at the Valley of the Rogue State Park in OR.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!!  We are headed to Fresno now to see family for a night and my kids got along and were so good the whole time!!!!  (I'm not lying, but probably jinxed myself for the final leg by telling you this!)

It was great seeing old friends and making new ones - see ya at San Mateo!

The Sequim RV Park you  mentioned above was like a Deshevio (sp) from one of our trips.  We stayed at the "Sun in the Fun" RV park in Visalia (I think) and it was alot like your stay.  It was ALL residential and the people I saw were carrying a beer and had cigs in their mouths.   I felt so uncomfortable and out of my eliment.   Here we were in our Niagara High Wall along side all types of RV's.  Our kids didn't care where we stayed but we surely did.  The kids played on their pathetic playground (they thought it was wonderful) and we just wanted the night to end.   When we were on our Smithwoods trip, we past Fun in the Sun and reminised over our stay.  DO NOT SAY THERE!!!!!

Thanks for sharing. We're going up there in October, after the Halloween Rally.

It all looks vaguely familiar.  Looks like you had better weather at Pfeiffer than we did.  You also got the site we liked at Fernwood #11. (maybe next year)

Wayne, wouldn't it have been more fun to make the trip with friends!  Always have to be different!

Bonnie, are we set for next year yet?  I have to start saving now.

Oh and did you all hear about the fires up there now?
