Sleepy Hollow RVP
Willits, California

We spent as much time as we could on the Pacific coast to enjoy the scenery and weather. A week at Kamp Klamath on the Klamath River was pleasant and fun. Not many campers was good for Danny because I could leave him off leash and let him run and explore the area. He managed to stay out of trouble most of the time although when he doesn’t respond to my calling or the whistle I get nervous and worried.

The next week we spent in the Emerald Forest, which was really the Redwoods National Park. It was really beautiful among these old giant trees, except when it rained. I haven’t been able to train Danny to wipe his feet when it’s muddy outside or not to shake himself dry when we walk in the rain.

We drive with a bit of anxiety, because although our radiator problem was fixed, the engine tends to overheat when we hit an inclined road. By downshifting and slowing down, we keep the needle out of the red zone and fortunately we have not hit any grade that has been too steep or too long. At least we aren’t leaking anymore.

Sleepy Hollow RVP is not as picturesque as you might want to imagine, but it’s just an overnight stop at a good rate. No cable or WIFI and our phone signal is zero so it will be early to bed and early to rise.
