After 6 days at Canyon Creek Resort we left the park located outside of Winters Ca. We headed to Duncan's Mills CA. which is four miles west from the coast. |
Just south of Winters we pass the Budweiser Plant for this area of CA. It is in Fairfield, CA. Goes to show you can mix beer and wine. |
Traffic wasn't too bad. |
We had one large hill to climb from the valley over the hills at the end of the Northern Coast Range. |
From I-80 we took Hwy. 37. |
Looks like a pretty steep bridge ahead, better get on the gas. As you can see the clouds are moving in. |
At the top of the bridge. |
A steep decent on the other side. After a few miles on Hwy. 37 we caught Hwy. 101 and headed north. |
We slide on by this cute old sign for the town of Petaluma. The couple we meet at Canyon Creek were from Petaluma, CA. |
We get off Hwy 101 and start the last leg on Hwy 116. This road wines along side the Russian River. In some places it gets rather narrow for a big bus like us. |
We go through 3 or 4 small towns along the way. This is Guerneville, is the biggest town with a Safeway Grocery. |
Eight more miles to go according to the GPS. |
Some more curves ahead. You never know what lies around the next bend. |
We finally reach our destination. Pop 85! Bet there isn't going to be much here. Now to figure out where the park is. Directions said it was behind the RR Depot. |
Looks like a RR Depot to me. Now where? I am always leery about pulling down a road that might not have room for us to turn around if needed. |
Well preserved Railway office building. |
With an elevation of 26 feet we must be near the Ocean, but there are no signs of its location. |
Looks like the Parks and Recreation Dept has taken over this part of the railway station. I should also mention that other than a few old railway cars there is no sign of railroad tracks or trains. |
Next door to the RR Station is this small shop, the post office, and a restaurant. |
These are the rest of the businesses that occupy this little strip of concrete next to the railway station. |
The Blue Heron restaurant/bar. |
Here we are. Very spacious. |
Mallery checks out the new neighborhood. All of the sites have shrubbery to provide privacy for each site. |
This park also has some rental units. |
Laundry, clean but small. |
Two clubhouses and some really neat carving. |
Whoever made these is very talented. |
Inside the adult clubhouses. |
A nice TV room if you can't get a satellite signal. Not too bad. Luckily we got a signal! |
This is the other clubhouse, more of a family activity center. |
They even have a workout center. This park is one of our ROD parks that we get to stay in for free. I'm impressed. |
Large hot tub. |
This is the access to the Russian River. |
Rental canoes. Some of the no sewer sites sit along the river. |
