Landed in Jedediah Redwoods State Park in northern California. Scored the best campsite in the campground, next to the river and end of the campsites. One can not help but marvel at the tall straight redwoods. Correct that, enormously tall straight redwoods. We took a nature trail walk. We dodged numerous broken Tan Oak that apparently do not do well in the heavy wet snow that came through last week.
You can see Smith River from our campsite.
After our walk we spent a couple of hours with our neighbors. They are from Mombay India. She is a 737 pilot and they are coming to the USA to see some of the National Parks each year. We suggested that they re-evaluate visiting Crater Lake NP. The roads are closed due to recent snows. Perhaps they would be interested in snowshoeing 3 miles to the crater rim...OSF Ashland plays sounded more enticing to them.
Today Nancy, Asiago and I headed into the redwoods to look for Ewoks. Asiago insists he saw one. I thought I heard a "speeder". We had a nice walk and Asiago decided to climb some trees. The last series of three photos is a panorama looking up a redwood with Nancy at the bottom.
After all that excitement we headed in to Crescent City for lunch at Port 'o Pints. Excellent IPA's and Belgian Wit. We both had a BLAST bacon lettuc avocado sourdough tomato sandwich. With all the Ewoks Asiago said that we had to go to Java (the) Hut for espresso.
