Monday, June 25 -Rivers Edge RV Park, Clio, CA- 194.3 Miles Today, 8,624.3 For the Trip
I spent most of the day driving up US 395 with a short stint on A15 & CA 89. Rivers Edge was recommended as a pretty stop & it is. I'm in site A12 & got a discount for being a RVN vet. Tall trees & a quiet stream wandering by the edge of the campground. While I didn't find much to take photos of on the way to the campground, after setting up I drove to Graeagle & the Pulmas-Eureka State Park. This is a park built around the mines on "Gold Mountain" or Eureka Peak. The park has a museum with both indoor & outdoor exhibits, a gold panning trough, the Eureka mine building (which is currently off limits) and a campground. Like most California State campgrounds, it has no hookups & seems a bit over priced at $35.00 per night. In any case, I did take some photos:

Dinner, for those interested and I'm not at all sure why you should be but I keep putting it in the post, will be a Bubba Burger, left over macaroni & cheese & mixed vegetables.
The plan for tomorrow is to continue up CA 89 to Lassen National Park. I've tried to see the park twice before; both times the road was closed due to snow. This year I'm a couple of weeks later & it has been a dry year so I expect it will be open. I'll probably stay in Mill Creek, at a commercial RV park outside the National Park.
Till Tomorrow -
