We visited the northern coast of California today.
We traveled through the Redwood National Forest.
We are very impressed with the size of these massive trees.
That is our Saturn driving through this tree, actually it is Glenn driving our Saturn through this tree.
Many of these trees are right beside the road. I would think that as they grow their root system would destroy the roads, which may be why there were 3 places along this route that they were repairing the roads and the traffic was down to one lane.
We rounded one corner and saw the Pacific Ocean! (((sigh))) This vista point overlooks Crescent City, California. I love the ocean and thought I was in heaven on the southern east coast beaches...but there is nothing like seeing the mountains and redwoods to your left and the coastline to your right!
We took a walk on the beach at another place on our route. I could have sat here all day just looking at the rocks jutting out of the ocean.
But it was really windy and quite cold!
Look at this grey-black-
ish colored sand. This was very different for us since we are used to having to
traipse through vast amounts of thick golden sand to reach the beach.
One last picture?
