David is back on his bicycle!
After his cycle around the neighbouring farms, we packed up and headed North.
We drove through a lot of wine lands with tasting rooms beckoning. We could have made a day of it, but guess that would not be fair on David, as I am still sure I won’t be driving here.
We drove through the Avenue of the Giants. Very ambitious for a novice RV driver, the road gets very narrow in places. I cannot begin to describe these redwoods and pictures do not do them any justice. We stopped to take a few photos at what we thought were big trees until we drove further.
The trees are humungeous.
We were looking for the Humboldt National park camping site, but the Garmin and Google maps gave us different directions so we finally pulled into an RV campsite just off the road. The main office was already closed, but they tape envelopes to the door and you can select a vacant site, fill in the form and drop it in the box and you are sorted for the night. They had a laundry, so we decided to stay 2 nights to catch up. The camp was along the river and quiet and peaceful and not crowded.
David put my bike together, borrowing a pump from new neighbours. Many of the RV guys have bikes with them.

What I learnt In USA, you can get chewable gummy probiotics! Also, you cannot buy anti-inflammatories or cramp meds over the counter. You need a doctor’s prescription for everything, other than pain killers. Best advice from pharmacist: “if you have a pain, take a pain killer!”
