The day started with a beautiful drive up the coast. There’s something absolutely majestic about the rocky and cliff filled Northern California coast.
There were so many scenic vistas that I eventually felt desensitized to the whole thing.
When this:
Begins to feel like a kansas feild, you’re completely spoiled.
Highlights:
Drive through tree
That no look like Bigfoot! Bigfoot much better looking.
Redwood
Big tree
Ferndale, an Old Victorian fishing town with great looking restaurants.
My notebook says:
If you ever decide to chug a quart of milk on a hot day, your stomach will tell you (in no uncertain terms) that it is very very disappointed in you.
I decided to camp in one of the redwood state parks (the national park encompasses three amazing state parks). However, the beach campground was full so I packed in 200 yards to the walk in camp. There I met a really cool German couple. Since we were the only ones staying in that area it seemed natural to hang out and share a campfire and a few drinks.
The evening was a whole lot of fun. Making friends while swapping stories over a campfire is one of the pleasures of traveling. Also, if you’re alone on the road, company is always appreciated.
We’ll actually be in Utah at the same time next week. We’ll see if our paths cross again.
