MeeOk enjoyed the view of the river. I think she was watching for those annoying frogs that kept jumping into the river. For an RV campground, the sites were nice, but I still prefer a boondocking site.
This was the best site of the campground since it had a view of the river and easy access since it is a pull-through site. Fortunately for us the campground was mostly empty; so, the sites on either side of us were empty.
We explored the campground while walking MeeOk. This was down by the beach area where one could launch canoes and kayaks.
The cute depot that was built in 1907 is now a museum. Duncans Mills got its name from two brothers by the last name of Duncan that started a lumber mill in this area. In the town's heyday, tourists from the Bay Area would travel to town by train. It was once a getaway spot that had four hotels, restaurants, and a saloon for travelers that came to enjoy the Russian River and fishing. By 1935, the town had declined and fell into disrepair. Sometime in the 70s the town went through a restoration and folks started to travel again to enjoy the town and surroundings.
After our visit to the coast (which I'll post next), we relaxed at camp and snacked on goat cheese, gorgonzola, crackers, and tomato and mozzarella salad.
This was our view from the camp chairs. We had fun watching kayakers and ducks traversing the river.
The picnic table was never used since we ate dinner around our dinette. A future blog will show the inside of the cute TT.
