It was our pleasure to be able to take a weekend trip to Big Sur with Outdoor Afro creator, Rue Mapp and her family last October.    We wanted to find out all about Rue and her work trying to reconnect African Americans with nature and outdoor recreational activities.    Rue's goal is to create interest in RVing for people of all ages and colors.  She hopes by organizing with regional and national organizations...

Cathy at Benbow RV Resort and Golf Course, told us about a great place to eat just around the bend in Garberville.     Calico's is on the main street in Garberville.  It's easy to spot because the front of the building has the Italian flag on it.

When you first walk in, it feels like you've entered a deli, but don't underestimate this place.  The owner, Peter Connolly, was a chef at the historic Benbow Inn for ten ye...

Just down the road from Kamp Klamath you'll find access to both the river and the ocean.  It is here that the local Yurok tribe have one of their ceremonial grounds.

      

This is a dance pit.
"Brush Dance" is a ceremony held to heal a sick child or to pray for a long, healthy life for the child.  Entire families and villages come together.   The dance begins on a Wednesday and continue...

What a place to relax and kick back, or to use as a hub to explore the Redwoods.  Either way, the Benbow RV Resort is a first class place to stay.

In the slideshow below, I wanted to show you the beauty of the Benbow RV Resort and then we follow a lovely path, under a bridge to the historic Benbow Inn where you can get a wonderful meal.  There's a patio of tables with white linens and fine wines, or you can dine inside.

Here's the thing: When you're located on one of the finest salmon fishing rivers in the world, you're used to only the best king salmon...and when you have the best king salmon, prep it in an all-natural brine  and cold smoke it over red alder, you get the best smoked king salmon. 

I was sitting with Mary on Friday when she was preparing Doug's latest batch of smoked salmon  for the Farmer's Market in Crescent City.

A Day in Fort Bragg, California

We are at Pomo RV Park in Fort Bragg, California, located along the Pacific Ocean on the incredible Highway 1.   (Fort Bragg is on one of the few stretches of Highway One up here that is straight, so enjoy it while you can!)    We arrived late afternoon and were immediately impressed by the park-like setting with lots of open space, trees, grass, flowers and bushes.  Each deep, wide space i...

One of the most breathtaking places I've ever seen is a place called Fern Canyon.   If you have just one more day, this is a must see thing to do.

We shared the experience with Kamp Klamath owner, Aaron Funk and his friend, Carol.  He told us the history of Gold Bluff and Fern Canyon and how it relates to the early gold miners.  You can hear his explanation on RVdream.com in the video playlist marked Fern Canyon.

The entrance...

We love dogs!

Kamp Klamath is a perfect place for dogs!  There's lots of woods and a big meadow to explore.  A river and an ocean to jump into. Beaches to run on.  Most importantly, since almost everyone who visits has a dog, you're among dog loving people.    In fact, our dogs are good will ambassadors and lead us to making acquaintances and finding new friends.  

There are times however, when you need to ...

The mother California Grey Whale and her calf  (Lucy and Little Ricky) are still here in the Klamath River.   They are hanging out closer and closer to the shore, delighting people who are now coming from neighboring cities all over to see them.   It appears, however, that the whales are having as much fun watching us as we are watching them.    You'll see in one part of this new video that Lucy comes clos...
