to Eureka, California

Boy, before we left this was the river this morning early....

Look carefully, the duck boxes are in the rive now....












Today was a long driving day, about nine hours.  We never do that.  We left home at 8:15 am and had a beautiful day driving along Highway 38 from Cottage Grove to Reedsport.  It was wide, muddy rivers, streams and lakes but the sun was shining the whole way.  We ended up at the Eureka, California Elks Club right at dark.  They still give two for one drinks as well as they had a private party tonight that had lots of leftover food soooooooooooooooo, we had free appetizers and prime rib bark.  Soooo good.  Now resting for another long day.  They tell us that rain is predicted but we are headed to I-5 and so we think it will be drier.  Corey was wishing that we would bring rain with us but I think it is staying home.  The river is really rising ! ! !   Sunset was beautiful. Never have seen so many people at all the pull outs and waysides.  Everyone was taking pictures but we were in a hurry to try and get to the Elks before dark, didn't work.  LOL.

Not a very good picture as we did not stop..




Tomorrow on to Corey's.
