Willits came quickly as we toured a few more miles through the Avenue of the Giants. Our last stop before home was Willits and the Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort. We think this had been a KOA at one time, as the "trip wizard" I use to find places to stay called it a Kampgrounds of America RV park.

Willits is an interesting little city with a population of about 5,000. Hwy 20 branches off here and heads to Fort Bragg and the Mendocino coast, so it gets very busy. There is good infrastructure, a large Safeway market, and restaurants including a great little Italian place called La Siciliana on Main street, no reservations necessary. We were waited-on by the owner himself.
We both ordered the spinach-stuffed ravioli in the chef's special red sauce, salad (mine with anchovies), a generous portion of garlic bread, and a glass of the restaurant's house wine, which happened be a nice Merlot. After dinner, it was back at the RV where Louise killed me in her favorite game of rummy. Geeeeez!
So, this is the trip folks: 3,257 miles, 19 stops over 29 nights, 7 states and one foreign country. Rough roads attributed to one broken slide mechanism, an electrical short under the shower, and a destroyed entertainment system amplifier. But, hey, that's life on the road. Our normal at home is also much fun, and we look forward to catching up with family after being gone for 4 weeks.
Thanks for riding along with us and we hope to have you along on the next tour of our beautiful country. So long and God bless.
