Onto California May 30

Got another early start, we have 340 miles to drive to get to Petaluma.
Another sunny day, drove south along the Redwood Hwy.101.
Nice driving through the redwoods although they grow right beside the road so a bit of caution is required.
Had a small episode in Eureka, pulled into a Dutch Bros. drive thru coffee place, looked like there was lots of room to exit but alas the trailer wouldn't make the turn without removing the building so I had to back up 270 degrees around the building to get room to turn around, luckily it wasn't very busy.
Not good for my blood pressure!
We stopped for lunch about 1pm in Laytonville.  We were kind of shocked to get out and find the temperature was 90 degrees! Quite a change from 65 on the coast.
The rest of the drive was uneventful, just long. We got to the KOA campground in Petaluma around 4 pm. We got a nice site near the pool which we jumped into as soon as we were setup. The water felt great after the long drive. Temperature here is about 82.
It's my birthday today but we are too tired to do much celebrating, Karen made me a Black Russian ,then we had an early night.
