Now that we're in California, I'm making Mindy listen to John Steinbeck's Cannery Row. One of the first books that made me want to go to California. It's making me so happy!!
Holy crap!! The Redwoods are amazing!!
We started our day with a stop at the Stout Memorial Grove
Visitors Center in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.
This slice of a tree shows that it started growing in 647 and was cut down in 1983!! 1,336 years old! Wow!
Of course the pictures don't do it justice!
But walking among these trees was so special.
Very quiet and spiritual.

Downed redwood that was at least 6 foot in diameter.
Today's selfie!

Corkscrew Tree in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. There were several state parks near the National Park. All of them were well kept and there was no admission charge.
Crescent Beach from the overlook.
Ok, see the white spot in the middle of this picture? That's a WHALE!!
We saw several from the Crescent Beach overlook.
We made it to Garberville today. About 10 hours traveling seems to be our limit. We're going to try and come up with a schedule for the rest of the trip...or not! It's been an awesome trip so far!
I'm thinking you should get into photography, Aunt Jackie! Awesome pics!!
