Jan 18 day 9 – A little fog off & on all day, cleared late in the afternoon, warm & sunny

We pulled out of Sea Bird RV Park, Brookings OR @ 155664 @ 10:10 am.  We crossed into California at 10:17. On Hwy 101 there were several road work stops of 5 to 10 minutes each.  Just before noon, we passed a roadside campground that had a herd of Elk wandering through it.  We stopped in Eureka at a mall for lunch @ 155841 @ 12:45 to 1:35.  Sheila drove until 3:30.  We wanted to stop in Santa Rosa for the night so we would be in a good position to cross the Golden Gate Bridge at, hopefully, slack traffic.  We drove after dark to find Sonoma County Fairgrounds RV Park which is a Passport America park – full services for $12.50.  We had problems finding it due to not being able to see exits in time in the dark.  We finally got in about 6:25 @ 156191, had a light supper & spent the evening doing the usual record-keeping—journal, expenses, activity etc. 

Traveled 527 km – 327 mi
