Benbow Weekend

Our Shasta camping adventure continued with a grilled brunch... cause we slept in...the weather was Sunny and getting warmer by the hour....

The RV park was calm...not a lot of campers, so we got to enjoy the trails and greenery...
Golfers were traveling by our back view...waving as they went by....with smiles and thumbs up on our set up....

 It was soo nice to have everything at our reach...we didn't have to buy anything, Not even Ice!

Our neighbors came by to takes pictures of us...(after seeing us take our own pictures for the first couple days...) we were Happy to have our Picture taken beyond arms length!!

A little Twister...anyone??!!

After relaxing most of the day, we got Dressed to go the the Benbow Inn for Dinner...

 Drinks on the Terrace....

Trout with mint pesto

Stuffed chicken with sun dried tomatoes

The Dinner was delicious, our seat was perfect with a Terrace view...the cost is above average, but worth the Rare experience of The Beautiful Benbow Inn!

After Dinner, we walked back to the Shasta, covered the outdoor furniture and watched Sherlock Holmes with Desert...

 A Doggy Owners Reminder....

   Stephen working on our last Breakfast for this trip...

All hitched and Ret-To-Go...

Stopped at Burlington Park for lunch...

Drove along the Avenue of the Giants....

And now we are home!

All in all...it was a Great First trip in our new Retro Shasta camper Trailer....It towed and ran perfectly....
The RV park at the Benbow was Great! Trails and paths to the river sides, and a Golf-cart Jont could be fun around the grounds! This time of year is warmer- as it is a little South...The kids are still in School and the rates for our stay with Full hook ups was less than $40 a day...
The park is vacant enough to avoid lots of people noise, the Freeway is far enough to not be annoying and the Inn is a short walk away. It's worth going for a drive though RV or a short weekend away in your Camper of choice....
I Rate this weekend and location a **** star. The rates go up in May, so make your plans before then!

We are planing more trips and will post as we go~!
And that's How I Love my Retro Shasta!

First Trip, Benbow

So, Our first trip out of town...We decided on Benbow. We hooked it up

and an hour and a half, 89. miles slightly inland...We arrived in warmer weather and Sunny skies! The tow was smooth and Stephen did a great job backing it up in place!

It didn't take long to set up our Little Retro Camping Oasis...

We tried to put up the awning, but gusts of wind made it a little risky in fear of damage, so we decided to hold off until we got secure ropes. So, with Flamingos, Tiki lights, red accessories and all the tech ret-to-go, we were Ready for a cocktail! There are adorable birds making chatter sounds, and really Friendly campers waving and admiring the Shasta...we are up against a Golf-course, and everything is Green!

We started a list...of the things we forgot, or needed to have on our next trip...(Good thing to do)....
Our Shasta was totally hooked up...Hot water, bathroom, heater, Cable, internet...Not really ruffing it...Yeay, Not playing "Survivor" also!

The first day was great...BBQ dinner, drinks, music
and a Movie! "The Mask", for those who Ask!

 Stephen doing the morning dishes.....Awesome!!!

 

The Shasta has a queen size bed, so there was plenty of room...and all was quiet except the bear that was snoring in my ear!! It's all good...I have a plan....(It's the tent he'll be pitching!)

This morning, we got up, set the patio furniture, made French toast on our Nifty Grill and enjoyed our breakfast in Sunny weather, and planned our day....

After cleaning up, we went for a walk around the Park and down to the river....

Benbow RV Park

 Walk to the River...

 Yes, I go in the water....

 Stephen did too!

As you can see...our Shasta is the smallest of them all, but we Dig ours the Most!





In the afternoon, we walk under the Bridge and came to the Benbow Inn....for tea and Crumpets! We sat on the patio and enjoyed the Beautiful view...Perfect weather, bytheway! High 70's...and I got a burn on my arms an neck....

Soo Beautiful! We have Rez for Saturday night....

After our Walk-A-Bout....we came back to camp to cook Dinner...Steaks on the BBQ....Yummy!
Till the next....
