Pleasantly Surprised

eef10-12725024_1666000243624837_1756870927_n Self promoted as “The Last Great Resort”, Sportsmans RV park is quaint and super chill.

Situated steps from the harbor, this has been a great place to watch commercial fishermen, Coast Guard boats, and whale watching tour boats (hoping to catch glimpse of whale migrations) come and go throughout the day.

Yes, it’s still an RV park, but unlike so many other private parks, this place is about as laid back as one will find and the staff here could not be nicer; a refreshing change of pace for sure.  And while we are still incredibly bummed that state parks in the area remain closed due to flooding, this park has been a pleasant surprise.

Oh, and there is no shortage of fresh seafood … literally off the boat.

Barking & Exploring

IMG_1269

We rescued Lilly a few years ago and are not quite sure of her age.  We think she is about 9yrs, but cannot say for certain.  For sure, she has aged … the spring in her step is not quite what is used to be and similar to me, there are an increasing number of gray hairs to be found on her face.

That said, bring this dog anywhere near the coast and she finds the spirit of her youth.  She’s very curious and loves to bark at the waves as they break against the shoreline.

Like Kelly and me, she is loving life on the road.

Noyo Harbor


 

Tonight we crash at a small campground steps from Noyo Harbor. Movie aficionados will recall Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell sailing out of this harbor at the end of their (classic) movie Overboard. These days the harbor is basically a staging place for crab fishermen.

Staying Fluid

Don’t be fooled by the postcard blue skies above picture – it’s been raining buckets here in northern California and the foul weather has been wreaking havoc on our ability to finalize a place to call home for the week.  Due to flooding and concerns that trees may topple over, all coastal state parks in this region remain closed … and likely will be for a few more days in anticipation of additional rain throughout the week.

Ideally, we would simply pull-up anchor and migrate further north towards Oregon, but we’re awaiting mail in Mendocino, so we find ourselves in a holding pattern.  Today, we are stalling on any decision by street surfing outside the Fort Bragg library during our work day.

Such is life on the road …
