On May 20, we
drove 280 miles /ca. 450 km from Shingletown to Crescent City. Both are in
California, but we drove into Oregon to get there, to avoid driving over some
mountains. Well, we did drive through the mountains anyway, just not quite as
many.

We are now
very near the Pacific coast again - northwest California/southwest Oregon. We
came to see some more of the ocean and the huge redwood trees. We are staying
here 5 days, so we have time to explore the area. We decided to drive up
Highway 101 to Oregon first (Monday, May 21).
It was a nice
drive. Oregon is so lush (frodig). However, the vegetation (planterne),
especially the trees, blocked our view of the ocean. The drive was not as
stunning as the one we did around Bodega Bay about a week ago. (We are getting difficult to please.) But the ocean
was beautiful, when we did see it.
We walked
down on the beach. The tide was going out, and it left large tide pools and
smooth rocks.
We are having
major problems with our computer, so JJ has spent a lot of time yesterday and
today, trying to get it up and running again. While he was working on that this
afternoon, I went for a walk in the woods.
We are
camping next to Jedediah Smith Redwoods state park. There are many walking
trails in the park. There were very few people there, and there was an
incredible sense of peace. I will try to recreate the mood (stemming) through
some of the pictures I took.
When I was
done with walk, JJ was almost done with fixing the computer! I am married to a computer "genius" (geni)!!!! And now we are able to write the blog again 😊
