Chinook RV Park, Klamath, CA May 9, 2010

This was our first view of the California Redwoods as we head north on Rt. 101 on the California coast to our next campground at Klamath, CA.

The campground was almost empty, just a few seasonal folks and a workamper. We had a wonderful site right on the Klamath River which flows 300 miles from Oregon to the Pacific Ocean just 1/4 mile down stream. We ended up staying here for 5 days.

Bill was relaxing, enjoying the view, after a long day's drive. The mouth of the river is just around the bend as it flows into the Pacific.

Brilliant orange California poppies were blooming profusely everywhere. They close up tight about dusk and reopen in the morning.

Periodically, I take a picture and call it "The view from my kitchen window". How relaxing to eat and look out on the river.

Well, well, look who's come up to the Klamath Overlook with us. The mouth of the river is to the left, the California coast, looking south.

We came up to watch the sunset and I liked this picture looking down the coast with the sun shining on the other side of the fence.

The sunset wasn't spectacular like I'd hoped, but it was still serene.
