California Road Trip 2019 - Hornbrook
Friday, October 18, 2019
Dunsmuir to Hornbrook, CA
Blue Heron RV Park
Site #13
Distance: 82 miles
Duration: 3 nights
Cost: $59.40/night
After five nights in Dunsmuir, it was time to move on. The park was closing for the season and we were the last ones to leave after saying our goodbyes to Lou & Shannon. We took a slight detour to Lake Siskiyou to check out the views of Mt. Shasta, which didn't disappoint. We had an easy drive up I-5 and had no trouble finding the Blue Heron RV Park in Hornbrook. Hornbrook is just 13 miles from Yreka and 6 miles off I-5. However, the last portion of the county road were pretty bumpy. It's paved, but narrow and windy with a lot of rough spots, so we had to take it slow.
We were very pleased with the RV park, which is situated on the Klamath River. The large sites are perfectly level and the common areas include several Adirondack chairs along the river, lots of lawn, and a fair amount of space between sites, although not much privacy. We had a beautiful view of the river and the fall colors were stunning. We fell in love with this park and decided to go ahead and extend our reservation for two additional nights.

Blue Heron RV Park offers full hook-ups, level concrete pads, picnic tables with umbrellas, immaculate restrooms and laundry facilities, and free WiFi. We also had decent cell service (Verizon & Sprint) and we saved 50% on our first night with our Passport America membership.

I love the reflection on the water.
Such a beautiful mountain.

Wow.
So peaceful!
The fall colors were stunning.
We could hear the river from our site.

Music Monday #3 - Louise
Time for another Music Monday with Rod. During this period of "sheltering in place," I thought it would be fun to share a personal music video on Mondays. My hope is that some of my family and friends will join in with their own videos for a virtual music tour.

California Road Trip 2019 - Dunsmuir (Part III)
Thursday, October 17, 2019
Dunsmuir, CA
Railroad Park Resort
What a great day! Our neighbors (Shannon and Lou) invited us to join them for a day trip to McCloud and Mount Shasta, which we eagerly accepted. The rain held off, so it was a perfect day to check out the McCloud River and all three waterfalls. The fall colors were stunning along the river and I couldn't help but take dozens of photos.
After checking out Fowler Campground for future reference, we headed into Mount Shasta for lunch at Sparky's Landing, which was very good. Not ready to return to our campground, we decided to wander around town and check out the headwaters at Big Springs. When we did get back to the RV park, we decided to have a drink out on the deck behind the the Railroad Park Resort restaurant & bar. We finished off the day with dinner and more drinks around the campfire, while Rod entertained us with his guitar. It was a perfect day!
