Redwood: My Neck Hurts


Andrew didn't feel so tall today. Nobody commented on how tall he is. That's because we were in Redwood National Park where the trees can grow to over 300 ft! This is a picture of Big Tree, that is 21 ft wide; it's not even the tallest tree in the park. We spent a lot of time looking up today, and our necks are a bit sore.

The afternoon was a lot of fun. The Vue crossed its first creek. We saw our first wolf of the Road Trip. We came within 30 yards of a bull elk on the beach with the Pacific in view. We drove out to Fern Canyon and explored our way across a few home-made log crossings. Only one of us got wet. The air was a lot colder in the canyon with ferns and moss growing on the walls.

We spent last night and tonight at the Camper Corral in Kalmath, CA. A fine campground with friendly staff. Oh, and we had our first campfire tonight. It's all about the wood; dry cedar works wonders. We had SMORES for dessert.
