We woke up to sunny weather on the Oregon Coast…but we hear that Bend got 7 inches of snow on Sunday!! Wow!
We took the dogs to the beach in the morning to enjoy the sun before we hit the road again.
We pulled out and took highway 101 south. It didn’t take long before we were surrounded by the Redwoods.
We took a hike (no dogs allowed) through the forest and stood in awe of trees that have been quietly towering for more than 2000 years. We felt like charaters from “Honey I Shrunk the Kids.”
We toured Jedidiah Smith State Park and wanted to stay, but the camp sites didn’t offer electric hooks-ups (our fridge is still on the fritz and needs to be plugged in every night.) So we found a nice, secluded RV park in Klamath, CA to spend the night. The propriter of the park told us that they suffered a small Tsunami last week. Sorry we missed that! Sounds like it was pretty exciting.

Very cool and exciting. The redwoods are so amazing, right? I hope that you figure out the fridge situation.. bummer. Hugs to all 4 of you. Good travels tomorrow!

That one redwood set back from Simpson Reed Discovery Trail is a nifty looking redwood.
At least people can take dogs for a long walk along Howland Hill road in the off-season. A bit dusty in summer for a long walk down that stretch.
