We left this morning for Eureka, CA on the coast to see the Redwoods. Our route took us on Hwy 299 of which the first 40 miles were under heavy construction to smooth out the corners and grades. They have finished the last 100 miles and it is a much easier drive.
Once we got to Willow Creek we had to be on the lookout for “Big Foot”.
After getting into Eureka around noon, we checked into the motel and headed south about 35 miles to the Humboldt Redwoods State Park. They have a 25 mile drive through the forest called “Avenue of the Giants”. The visitor station was closed when we got there but what we saw was nice but we know, from being there before, that we will see bigger and better trees as we travel north.
This section of redwood had an interesting history.
Until next time,
Dave and Sandy
