FredNewell Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Heading out to a private campground 40 miles away, for our annual family camp. Four days of relaxation, pool with lifeguard for the kids. Nice and quiet. Commercial kitchen where we all take turns at food prep and cleanup. Triumphant Life Camp on HWY 36. 8 of my 11 grandkids will be there. They are excited and have anticipated this all summer, more so than the eclipse. School starts after this weekend.

FredNewell Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) The road closure is for a federal road repair project (not CalTrans). They close from 8-12, 1-5 give or take, Monday thru Thursday. Friday they open at 2:30 PM for the weekend traffic. The closure is at mile marker 36. The camp is at marker 35.2. On Friday, there was a medevac helicopter land right next to us, on the property, to take a driver who was injured on HWY-36. This is a pretty crazy highway, not recommended for normal folks. Just us crazy folks. Humboldt County is crazy and proud of it. We had a great weekend. The propane regulator on the dolphin blew out after the first night. Spent the rest of the weekend without propane. Fortunately, we had hot shower and kitchen facilities included in the deal. FWIW, if you are interested in our craziness, there is a local gal who runs a local news service. Search... Readheaded Blackbelt.
