After the mountains we
were greeted with
a foggy
Pacific coast.
The mountains seem to collide with the ocean. Along the way we crossed many rivers, the Umpqua, the Rogue, and the Klamath, to mention a few. 
Humbug mountain was a big hike, but because of the rain we just camped along a gravel road and left in the morning.
We stopped at the Jedediah Smith State Park and saw the Redwoods. These trees grow much larger than I have ever seen. We visited a bluff that put you on the edge of a crumbling cliff. South we go.
In the Avenue of the Giants we stood under Giant Tree, which was 363 feet tall and had a63 foot circumference. Sequoia sempervirens, the redwoods grow wide, whereas the Sequoia, grows taller.
After camping off of a back road, we witnessed an amazing sunrise over the King Range of California. We found a spring by the road and cooked breakfast, enjoying the morning.
After hiking in the grassy mountains, we skated at the new and very nice Ukiah skate park.
The coast of Mendocino.
Much love in the world!
That picture of the bridge in the fog is really a good shot. Keep up the adventures. It is great to follow along virtually.
ReplyDeleteNice pics. Replace those water jugs in the first shot with some instruments and you've got a band promo pic. Still practicing daily and awaiting the rest of the band. Ha. Keep up the exploration!!!
ReplyDeleteHave Adam bring a redwood back on his carry on.
