You may remember that just short of two years ago we traveled this way on our first trip. This time is a little different. Then we were just starting out and taking our time seeing as much as the coast as we could. This time we were mostly interested in getting south to something warmer and dryer. Kat and the motorhome were developing mold and I was beginning to rust. Even with a late start out of ODFW in Clackamas we made it to The Mill Casino in Coos Bay. That’s a pretty good drive for us. We spent a couple of nights on the Oregon Coast and then Ukiah before heading across the Golden Gate. We had deviated away from the Golden Gate Bridge last time to see Toni and it left a hole in our “all the way down the Pacific Coast trip”. I wanted to make it up, the weather cooperated, and we did. I can tell you though, that it’s not an easy trip through San Francisco in an RV with tow car. But we made it fine and it was better than driving through Oakland. No offense, but Oakland sucks! We spent two nights in Garlic USA in Gilroy completing the drying out process before heading on to Fresno and Libby’s.
We met Libby at the Oregon Dept of Fish and Wildlife in Clackamas last year. She was the ‘volunteer host’ who followed us when we completed our first term at ODFW in Clackamas. Being a ‘volunteer host’ means she’s an Rv’er which means that right away we had two things in common. We worked with her during the ODFW ‘host hook-up’ event and it didn’t take long to become friends. She is another of those courageous individuals who travel solo and I can relate to that. We stay in touch now and she offered her driveway which we appreciatively accepted. We visited and had a nice dinner out and a really nice Libby prepared breakfast complete with fresh squeezed orange juice, from home grown oranges. And I shouldn’t forget two jars of homemade orange marmalade. It was all good!
Just a side note here: We went to dinner at Mimi’s Café in Gilroy and we enjoyed it so much we talked Libby into driving us there for dinner again. This time in Fresno of course. Anyway we had never heard of it and now it’s one of our favorites. They’re located in several states if you’re interested.
