Pacific Northwest May 26 - June 1

We left Sacramento and drove up 101, the Coastal Highway.  If you haven't been to the Pacific Northwest, put it on your bucket list.

Coastal Highway OR
We finally had a campfire in Willits CA after hauling firewood
from Florida.  Everywhere in the SW had burn bans.

Babe was a miserable failure as navigator.




Our most beautiful campsite (outside of Jones Pond)
We stayed at Redwoods RV Park near Cresecent City
and 'camped' among the redwoods.
Bench from a single tree log.

A great roadside attraction; the Trees of Mystery
South of Crescent City.
We're not sure about Paul Bunyon and Babe,
but they made it work with the giant redwoods.
The redwoods soared 200-300 feet.
Not as majestic as the Sequoias, but more elegant.
Just us and a big tree.  :-)
Coos Bay OR.  If you look close, you can see the seals.
Very noisey!

What did we do before selfies?

Babe is making sure that Steve doesn't miss a spot.






Driving the Coastal Highway through the redwoods was somewhat harrowing.  It is a 2 lane road with redwoods on either side.  The white edge stripe sometimes went around a tree.  It was barely wide enough for us and the logging truck coming the other way.  Needless to say, I was almost as nervous a Steve.
