For anyone thinking about coming out to visit, we can’t promise you that we’ll spot a whale from the coast, but it could happen. We’ve seen them a couple of times now.

Flower with Tentacles?
At least that is what the center looks like if you glance at it real fast. 😉

Root Structure of Fallen Redwood
If it seems like the base of this tree, on it’s side, was taller than the photographer, well, that would be accurate.

Jedidiah Smith Redwoods Hike
After spending the evening in Crescent City, CA we set out the next morning to do a little hiking in the nearby Jedidiah Smith State Park. It was a chance to explore more of the Redwoods before heading back up into Oregon and continuing up the coast.
It was early morning and the relatively easy trail we decided on was empty, so it made for a very peaceful stroll among the giants.
We even came across on of the things my wife was most keen to spot, a banana slug.
More photos from our hike, as well as the rest of our long Memorial Day road trip, will be forthcoming on the blog in the next few weeks!
