Redwoods and Coast - 9/20/2008

Mel and I decided to explore the N. California Coast Redwoods region this past weekend. Well, it was a lot of driving for just two days (but hey, isn't that the blog point?), but it was worth it to explore this area. The redwoods are awesome, and we could have probably spent a lot longer just hiking around in the miles of intact groves. The beach deserved a lot of attention though... Northern California and Southern Oregon beaches are among the most amazing that I've come across... Talk about rugged!



Makes you feel small


Here's one of the bigger ones we came across...


Can you spot the ditch that's actually registered as a historic site?


Hahahahahahahaaaa


Fern Canyon


Whoa... Elk at the beach. What a neat idea!


Some hippies had commandeered a Weyerhaeuser crew bus and defaced it with a "Stumps Don't Lie" sticker... Lame, but par for the course in Arcata!


"Do I have something in my hair?"


Sweet Nissan ad


Lost Rocks region of N. California... Hmmm... How do we get down?


Mel, looking cleaner than usual for day 3 of these trips.


D-d-d- double vision! :)


Back in Oregon... This place was sweet.
