We spent the majority of today off of 101 which was nice. From Brookings, OR to Crescent City, CA we toured agricultural areas on the coast with lots of dairy cows and lily fields. After a ride along Pebble Beach in Crescent City it was time for the big climb of the day up in to the redwoods. In to the fog we went. With temps in the 50's it remained quite pleasant.
A major part of the route through the redwood parks was off of 101 and it was just great. Just thousandss of the big guys lining both sides of the road as we cruised by for miles. After leaving the parks we came across 3 different elk sightings, one with a herd of 40 sitting just off of the road.
Moteling in Orick, CA which has seen better days. Had a nice Mexican dinner for my birthday and it's back to the Palm Court Motel with its empty pool :-)
Happy birthday Steve, a few days late. We were in Denali, so we missed it. Did the sun erupt just for you?? We hope to see some aurora borealis tonight.
ReplyDeleteClaire - my birthday was nice. My novia took very good care of me of course. :-)
