Marty's Travels

My house has wheels

Santa Rosa

I’m on US101. Those are long drives through half the state from the desert to the clouds near the ocean. But now it’s a bunch of short hops northward until I hit Chimacum, likely taking 6 weeks or so. I’ll sit in towns and fairgrounds and ports and such waiting out rain storms, moving when the weather and views are good.

I’m in the Sonoma County Fairgrounds RV park which is always interesting. There are a lot of construction folk here, probably for the highway expansion nearby.

It didn’t take long to remind me that Santa Rosa is one of the most difficult places to navigate I’ve seen. It’s a bunch of winding roads from the hills, no grid layout, overlaid by 101 walking through it with no regard to it’s road layout.

Here for 5 days, at least.
