Day 69 Crescent City, CA to Salt Point State Park, CA

Day 69 7/6/2015
 

Sunset at Salt Point

We left Mills Creek at about 8:39 and earlier than usual because we had been here for 5 days and felt the need to get on with our trip.
We left 101 and got onto “The Highway of the Giants:” near Scotia, CA but by Shively, we were ready to return to 101 and make some progress.

At Leggett, we left 101 again to follow Hwy 1 along the coast.  However, after 25 miles od the twistiest road so far this trip, we began to regret this decision.  In our first two hours on Hwy 1, we had covered only 35 miles!
 

View from our campsite.

Toughing it out, we managed to get all the way to Salt Point State Park near Stewarts Point, CA.

The regular campground was full but we opted for the overflow area and were treated to a beautiful view of  the sunset.  We received news of the death of our good friend Dick Witham and decided to accelerate our return to the Village for his memorial on the 23rdof July.
