NOTE: For most of the time that the two RV Gypsies were in San Diego, their
RV (their ONLY home) was in repair at the San Diego Freightliner, making
them "homeless" in San Diego. During this time, they stayed
one night at the Hilton Hamptons, and two nights at Embassy Suites.
Reviews of these hotels are
posted. Several nights were spent sleeping in the RV on the street
in front of Freightliner (Lee Duquette's stupid idea). The two RV Gypsies
liked the Embassy Suites much better than the Hilton Hamptons. |

17. June 12 -14, 2015 - Redwood
National Park, Avenue of the Giants, Trees of Mystery:
The drive from San Francisco to Eureka, California was shorter in distance
than the drive to San Francisco, but all vehicles towing were limited
to 55 mph speed limit and because of the curvy, steep mountains with
many very sharp corners, the RV was often quite slow going up the mountain
roads. But they finally arrived in Eureka, California and were amazed
as they marveled at the tall Redwood trees. Then the two RV Gypsies
even drove their car through two trees as seen by choosing the link
above.
