Re: Illinois I-55 or I-57

Yes, Kzoo bound.I will likely head east on 24 from I-55 or I-57. Then north on 421 or 31. May possibly spend a few days in Shipshawanna depending on weather. It will be late October.1.7KViews0likes0CommentsNorthern CA wildfires
We have reservations in Crescent City, CA in a week. The campground informed us that due to the wildfires the air quality was bad and hwy 199 was closed. Anyone been in the area recently? Our goal is to see the redwoods. If we go further south will we get out of the smoke, etc.?986Views0likes6CommentsRe: Northwest coast of U.S.

Continued on Highway 20 west, Thru Deception Pass, and the ferry ride to Port Townsend. Then south on 101 and west again to the coast.. then south This way you miss Seattle, Portland, and the I-5 mess. Taking the ferry interests me. Can you tell me more...did you keep coach and toad hooked up, any special instructions for big vehicles, just show up and get in line, etc.? Thanks.935Views0likes0CommentsRe: Northwest coast of U.S.
CA Traveler wrote: That's a great route. Olympic National Park. Long Beach but the greatest part start with Astoria. Fantastic Maritime Museum and don't miss the Bowpicker across the street and the waterfront trolly. We've stayed at Fort Stevens but 42' sites are limited. Louis and Clarke RV park if you can get a reservation. So many beautiful places to see and stay all down the Oregon coast, stop at every rest stop for the view. CA Redwoods are also a must see. From Eureka down you're inland, not as interesting. At Leggett you cannot take Rt 1 due to your 42' length. See the CA bus and motorhome map. We like Bodega Bay but have to go over and back due to your length. We prefer the 200 wineries in the Dry Creek/Healdsburg area to Napa. Check on 116, 12 into Napa may be windey. I'd go to 37 over and back up to Napa. After Napa then where? After Napa...we make our way back to MI. Haven't decided on a route yet. Driving across Nevada does not look to appealing. May stay inland, head north a bit, then head east.315Views0likes0Comments
