Redwoods

Last Tuesday, Rhonda and I took off for the Redwoods.

Driving through Southern Oregon, I had forgotten how beautiful it was. The hills and trees along I-5 were absolutely amazing.

We cut over from Grants Pass to Crescent City where we spent the night. WOW! What a beautiful road. We hung out at Jedidiah Smith State Park and Rhonda made a wonderful meal for us and we saw MANY fantastic trees.

The next day we headed to the Avenue of the Giants.

We stopped at the Trees of Mystery and checked out their museum. We also bought some overpriced fudge and then headed to Founders Grove...AMAZING! We loved the trees that were hollowed out in the bottom. They were just absolutely amazing. I'll try to post pictures at some point.

We stayed at Arcata the next night, and on the way home, Rhonda made a wonderful lunch at a space by the Smith River just off of 199.

All in all, one fantastic trip.

I have learned that one of many great methods of seeing how you'll get along with a Lover is to ride with them in a little box for hours on end. Rhonda and I got along fantastic the whole trip.

We both did get ill. I developed a cough and she already had a serious one going for about four months now. We went to the doctor at Smith River Rancheria, of the Tolowa people. Crows tried to raid our icebox, there.

At Smith River, A Raven kept calling then hung out in a tree while Rhonda cooked. Rhonda made offering to the bird, as well as to the Ravens at Jedidiah Smith...Rhonda is so AWESOME!
