Yesterday, when the Ranger was a little surprised that we had not stayed in a National or State Park in the last month and a half, I was a little bit surprised as to why we hadn’t too.
Until this morning. Then it all flashed back:
- no electricity
- no phone charge
- no computer charge
- no TV channels
- limited water usage
- generator off between 8 pm – 10 am
- no shops or restaurants
I am what you call a motorhome camping, kind of person.
I am not an off the grid kind of person.
There where not many reasons to get up early, and it was cold.
The good news and a great reason to get up is that Dan and Helen Hunt, gorgeous friends from Oz/US, had returned from a trip a day early, which means we get to see them today before they fly out to Australia tomorrow.
The motorhome was all packed up we were on the road by the not so early time of 10.30 am.
A nice drive to Los Ranchitos where we met up with Dan and Helen at the local Starbucks and spent a lovely few hours with them.
Time to give their ears a rest and let them continue with their travel preparations.
A quick stop at Safeway to pick up food supplies and then onto the US 101 North and California 37 towards Napa, our destination for tonight.
There was an accident on the Hwy so google sent us on a lovely scenic route through Sonoma, passing sheep farms (the first we have seen), vineyards and wineries.
The scenery reminded us of driving through the Perth Hills and Swan Valley, even including more Gum Trees.
Soon we arrived at tonight’s campsite, Skyline Wilderness Park. An early night in with leftovers for dinner. Hopefully, we will get up early tomorrow to explore our surrounds, we were all too tired to bother tonight.
