Did you know that banana slugs talk?
...or days 2 & 3 of our vacation:
July 20 & 21:
The Northern California Redwoods!
Man I love trees in a big way! My love for trees started young...before I knew any of the politics that accompany them. Tree-hugger (I was literally one before I knew what it was), environmentalist, etc. Can you blame a girl growing up in a neighborhood like this:
I grew up in the city, but I spent my spare time in the trees. Climbing trees, dissecting seeds, collecting leaves, inspecting bark, climbing more trees, playing in trees, swinging from branches, trees, trees, trees...I think you get the picture. It's fair to say that one of the main reasons we choose to move to Oregon was for the amazing trees!
I love to share the wonder I have for trees with my kids. And taking them to the Redwoods was a wonderful way to do just that!
After we left Crater Lake, we had dinner and stayed with friends in Grants Pass (thanks Connie and family!). Then we drove the beautiful road between Oregon and the California coast...a beautiful thing in and of itself. We spent two days hiking around through these magnificent old trees. We camped at the Del Norte camp ground.
Enjoy our meanderings:
The next day we head south to see more forests:

awesome Del Norte camp ground
We saw this amazing whale swimming in the Klamath River...it was quite the spectacle! Swimming back and forth under the bridge. The poor thing was sick and didn't live too much longer.
When you have two cameras going at the same time, you can take 1 picture of me getting down low to take a picture from this angle:
