Sunday, March 20, 2022 (Travel to Bear River Casino, Loleta, CA)

After yesterday's cloud and rain, we were happy to be back into sunshine as we continued west on highway 20, passing the Blue Lakes...actual names 😊

More gorgeous scenery...

I believe this is the Russian River...

Once we reached highway 101, we headed north. Wood carvings beside the road and loggers on the tree...

Winding our way through the Redwood Forest...

Although narrow and windy we've been on this route before so knew it wasn't an issue for all of our 63'...

Quite the views from those houses up there...

We arrived at our destination, Bear River Casino Resort, just outside of Loleta, CA...after a shorter than normal driving day. A few hours and 158 miles was long enough especially with the windy, twisty highway.

The casino is up on a hill, so a very steep drive up. We made our way to the back parking lot and I called the casino...no problem staying the night and you are fine where you are. Perfect! But we will have to go down to the casino to get our player's card. We leveled off...had a late lunch and then went for a walk to the casino with Earl and Allison.

Nice view from our side window...

After getting our player's card, we had to find security and fill out a form. Oh, but before doing that we had to go play the free $10 off our card. (It was a bust for everyone except for Earl who walked away with a whopping $5.60 US which converts to $7.08 Canadian...Whoo Hoo! Steve :))

Selfie time...at the main entrance to the hotel...

Earl and Allison...

We enjoyed a relaxing rest of the afternoon...hmmm...I think a game or two of Rummikub may have been played that evening!

Tomorrow, we continue up the coast.
