August 28 26th day OTR

Wow, is all I can say.  This was a WOW type of day.  We drove through the Redwoods, specifically through Jedediah Smith Redwood Forest.  I could post 100 pictures and the enormity of the trees would not come across. 

We took one trail through the forest, actually an old stagecoach trail.  At times there was barely room for the car to get through the trees and at other times there wasn't much space for two cars to pass.  Our necks were sore from looking up.  We walked the trail at Stout Grove and stood beside some fallen trees.  Words actually fail me so let me post a picture of one of these giants, a fallen one at that.

Our tent was wet this morning, not from rain but from the heavy fog that rolled in overnight.  The trees just dripped with moisture.  We are currently in Eureka California and there are no trees at this KOA so the tent has dried out.  We stopped early afternoon and had a chance to do laundry as well.

Part of our driving on Highway 101 today was above the clouds and then sometimes we were in the clouds.  This made for no photo opportunities on the coast - it was usually shrouded in fog.

Tomorrow we head inland to Highway 99 for the trip down the spine of California.  We will take Hwy 299 across - this is also marked as a scenic route.

I have been able to add most of the pictures I wanted to add to the link at the top of this page.  All of the Alaska pictures are posted, some Oregon and a few California.  I am out of allowed space until Sept 1 so no new pics will be added before then.
