Yesterday we arrived in Leggett, CA and are staying Redwoods River Resort. This is a beautiful park with tall Redwood trees. The site is 30 AMP but with all the trees there is enough shade to keep things cool so we don't the air conditioning.
This is our site. So cool.... we are parked right in between two large Redwood trees.
Today was sightseeing day. It was around lunch time before we got our start so John found us a burger place to eat.
We both had a burger with onion rings. It was quite tasty.
We drove down Avenue of the Giants to see the giant Redwood trees. We visited the area way back in the early 90s but the sight of these trees never gets old.

I am standing at the bottom left edge of this tree. I thought I was small before but I feel very tiny up against this redwood.

Back in December of 1964 there was a flood in this area.
Here is the pole indicating the water level. I can't image the water getting that high.
This was an odd looking tree.
From the side it kind of looks like a face of some sort.....to me that is.
I could't resist taking a picture with water in it and
a picture with a bridge in it.
Don't know what we will do tomorrow but I am sure we will come up with something.
Laugh everyday. Happy trails. Stay safe.
How is it going driving a big rig on 101 and how long going north will you be on it? My last trip down 101 with a 9' shorter rig heading south from Oregon was stressful. I'm trying to figure out a way to get to Brookings, OR.
ReplyDeleteWe have a whole scrapbook of photos we took when we drove up the West Coast..and Avenue of the Giants was one of our favorites..That was before we had an RV..would love to do that drive now..Mt. St. Helen was a real neat place too..They have a film of when the thing blew...and I believe some of the damage might still be there.
ReplyDeleteFun! I have pictures of the boys in some of those very same spots last summer!! We loved the Redwoods . . . and Sequoia, too!
