Day Three: Florence, OR - Eureka, CA

Redwood Highway

A long day of mostly driving. We did have a couple of pleasant stops but we had to push to get to Eureka and bring San Francisco under the 300 mile mark (just barely.)

We got into Eureka around 4:00 pm and ended up at the Super 8. Again, Wi-Fi and a pool were top on the list of requirements.

Eureka seems nice. Mostly it feels like James Bay with Palm trees. We saw several houses from Government Street transplanted here as we took a walk into the Old Town in search of dinner. Opera Alley Bistro would be a recommended stop if you are passing this way. We sat outside and enjoyed a very nice dinner (even if they thought Sean wanted cheddar on his fries instead of his hamburger) Jacquie enjoyed the Filet Mignon sandwich special.
