RE: Amarillo, TX RV Park
^^^^^^^^^^^^I agree^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes!!
I know the original post was about a one night stopover, but I think anybody would be totally thrilled with the stunning views at Palo Duro Canyon SP. Totally worth a 2 night stay at the bare minimum, then get back on the road.

RE: cuyahoga valley national park
I live nearby there. The weather is normally chilly that time of year, sometimes snowy. Many Cleveland Indians April home games get postponed.
Brandywine Falls is the best attraction there in my opinion, should be churning pretty well that time of year.
I'd suggest staying at West Branch State Park, or Atwood Lake (Atwood Lake has newer FHU if needed, but pricey)https://atwoodpark.mwcd.org/
You won't need 3 days there to take the park in. Cleveland (and Akron & Canton) gets a bad rap, but its truly a great region with museums, wineries, & breweries.
Holmes County isn't too far from Cuyahoga Valley NP, has a great Amish community with cool restaurants & markets. So if you're into that kind of stuff, 3 days may not be enough.

RE: Advice on getting to Redwood NP
Highway 89 through Lassen Volcanic NP will most likely still be closed in May. Highway 44 around the north side of the Park will be open. Same for Highway 36 south of the Park. Both 36 and 44 are kept open year around. Some of the forest roads off 44 will be iffy in May.
Which campground are you asking about? There is lots of boondocking opportunities in the National Forest around Lassen Volcanic NP. Cell phone coverage can be hit or miss. Mostly miss.
From Lassen Park there is basically three routes to get to Redwoods. Highway 36 from Red Bluff to the coast is not recommended for RVs. Narrow, curvy, not RV friendly. Highway 299 from Redding to the coast is good two lane, but very curvy with a couple of steep grades. I have done it, and is not fun but safe. My preferred route is north on I-5, then Highway 199 from Grants Pass Oregon to Crescent City. Much nicer drive, easier with an RV. This takes you right through Jedediah Smith State Park (Star Wars -- Forest Moon of Endor filmed there) and a nice campground right on the river and next to a large grove of Redwoods.
May in the Redwoods can still be wet and cool in the mornings. Fog commonly burns off mid to late morning, then can be sunny and pleasant in the afternoon. Inland 5-10 miles gets you out of the fog belt and can get hot in the PM.
Great info, thanks.
I was looking at Living Springs RV Park on 44. I'm not too worried about cell phone stuff, just want to make sure we can get our 30' 5er into a decent CG safely. Not afraid to Boondock, but it makes my wife nervous lol.

RE: Advice on getting to Redwood NP
Should be a good trip. The long boring I5 could be a backup if needed and you could cross on 20 and go up 101. Consider buying Mountain Directory West and have a heads up on the roads.
Thanks!

RE: Advice on getting to Redwood NP
May is early for Lassen Volcanic NP. Expect lots of roads to still be closed for snow removal.
The connection between south and north entrances didn't happen this year till July 1st.
I did read that on the NPS website. The CG I'm interested in says the main roads are always passable, just double checking.

Advice on getting to Redwood NP
Planning an early spring road trip in May. We'll be departing from Flagstaff and heading up to Redwood NP.
I was looking at roaming through Nevada, then entering California on US 395through Susanville to Cal 44 or 36, on to Klamath, CA. I know weather is unpredictable, but should I avoid that route and take the long way up I-5 from I-40?
A campground I'm considering is near Lassen Volcanic NP off of CA 44 before Redwood NP. I'm just not sure. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

RE: Go around northeast Ohio
Simple...don't pay the fines on mail citations. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled traffic enforcing cameras are illegal, because you must face your accuser in a court of law.

RE: Alternative to I-70 through Indiana needed
Maybe try to catch Ohio SR 32 from US 50 near Athens, Ohio, great road and some nice scenery. It takes you to Cincinnati. From there, maybe get back on US 50 and head north as you please from there to US 36.

RE: Leaving COLORADO heading to Tennessee
US 36 is a much better road than I-70.
D'oh! Yes,US 36 instead of US 34. I took US 34 to Nebraska and at Hagler took KS 27 south to US 36.
I crossed Ks on US36 few weeks ago. But gets to Mo in the north. US34 is well north of that. While I like for fuel $ be spent in my home state, I think a more southern route across Ks, then across Mo, would be better way to get to Tennessee.
Ok,safe travels. I've never been a big fan of I-70 so I tell folks to avoid it. Where in Tennessee are you headed?

RE: Indian Boundary
We stayed there for the eclipse in 2017. Truly an amazing campground- the swimming area is very nice & scenic.
As far as the roads go, we didn't have any problems towing our TT (28'). Came in from I-75, through Sweetwater, Tellico Plains & no issues.
You'll enjoy the area. Make sure you drive the Cherohala Skyway to Robbinsville, a great swimming hole at the end there as well.
