No problems getting here other than Garmin must make the world's stupidest GPS's. I paid extra to get a GPS that was supposed to have a setting the prevented routing you down cowpaths. NOT! We came up here before, in the car, to look around. The route we took then was MUCH easier. Today it routed us down roads that were barely two lane, and with one switchback after another. More than once we just had to go around a corner blind because it was so sharp that we had to take up both lanes to get around it and we couldn't see if there was oncoming traffic.
Folks here see happy to see us. Kathy is going to help set up for a Seniors luncheon tomorrow. I'm either going to be tearing the floor out of a bathroom in a trailer or working on the Fir Lodge renovation. I won't know until 9AM, thats when the decision will be made on who gets me for help.
Below are some photos of where we are parked. They run from right to left and cover about 180 degrees.
The tree by the motorhome is a baby coastal redwood. It is only about 30 inches in diameter.
This is the roof of the building I might be helping remodel.
In the distance are more baby redwoods. These are maybe 36" in diameter and at least 60' tall.
I had to walk down to the dining hall to get on the Internet. They have WiFi down here but it doesn't come close to reaching up to the campground. We just barely have cell phone service at the RV. Verizon is the only service that works at all. We knew all that before coming here, so we expected to be pretty isolated.

Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
