Thanksgiving day was a lovely 54 degrees sunny day. So nice to see the sun after so much rain.
The replica of the Cape Mendocino lighthouse is at the ticket booth for the Humboldt County Fairgrounds where we are camped. When the original lighthouse was decommissioned in 1948 the entire prisms and mechanical gears were moved to the fairgrounds. They seem to not be here anymore, but the replica light house still is. A beautiful fall maple in front of the library in Ferndale.
Diana and I went on a bike ride around Ferndale while the men supervised the smoking of the Thanksgiving turkey.We are in front of a mural of Ferndale, which is dairy country. A calla lily and camellia at the fair grounds and a bumper sticker seen in town.
John and Rob’t supervising the smoking of the turkey in the right of the photo. Diana and Rob’t joined us for Thanksgiving dinner. We met them two years ago in Klipchuck campground in Washington state. They also live and travel in an RV and we run into each other on the road.
Right across the street from our RV park at Richardson’s Redwood Grove is the One-Log house. It was built in 1946 from a 2100 year old redwood tree. It is on a flatbed, so it is one of the early RV’s. Inside it is 7 feet high and 32 feet long.
The Grandfather Tree is near the One-Log house. It is really, really big. 245 feet high and 24 feet in diameter.
These are just a couple of the chainsaw carvings in front of the gift shop. We had dinner with David and Kay. I went to college with Kay. It was great to see them.
The coach at the Richardson Redwood Grove RV park. This morning it was so cold there was frost on things. It is time to go south!
We hiked today in Richardson’s Redwood Grove State Park with Kay and David today. It was supposed to be a 4 mile hike, but we got on the wrong trail it was about 4 and a half and we had to drive back in our car to pick theirs up. Then we had left over turkey for dinner.
