Several short blogs today

We are driving down Highway 101 and just arrived at the Giant Redwoods RV park...ummmmm...lots and lots of very large trees and very remote. There appears to be a hippie commune that lives here year round. Maybe we will meet some extra milers in the group - or maybe we will just dance with wild abandon with the locals tonight.

As we move up the coastline to Oregon, once again we are awed by the beauty of our country. This part of the country inspires me yet again to sing John Denver songs at the top of my lungs (making Ken extremely sad that he has not been able to fix the RV radio). Hmmmmph! The landscape keeps changing drastically as we roll off the miles - the tree covered mountains now overlap and change colors the further off they are to our eyes...the most distant take on a warm soft blue glow. Ken said this is what he imagined this part of the country would look. We are once again amazed and we can do little more than stare in amazement. Occasionally I ask Ken to pull this behemoth over so I can run across the highway for a Kodak moment (this advertisement is free). You will see some of those shots on the blog tonight.

We stopped at the famous "drive-through tree." I have seen photos of this tree since I was a young girl (very long, long ago) and finally, today, I stood under that tree and we also drove through it. No, no...not with the RV...with our pull behind car (CRV). The RV was too big to even drive into the very intimate family park where this tree has been viewed for over 70 years.

Tomorrow we will visit and hike a local state park. See below for some "catch up" blogs of our experience in San Francisco.
Sending love to you, Carol and Ken
