We again headed north along the coastline. Eventually we got to the Avenue of the Giants (mackin gert big trees), it was really weird driving along here as the trees really did blot out all of the sunlight. We stopped for a picnic here. We eventually came back out on the coast again, and found yet another fantastic empty beach. The Pacific Ocean appeared to be very angry as the waves here were the largest we had seen, it was amazing, the spray from the waves swept up the whole beach. Caz was …

Redwood NP, September 13-15, 2008   When I enter Redwood National Park, I felt as though I was shrinking and landed in a story-tale. The old-growth trees were amazing, and truly spectacular.

    Redwoods National & State Parks, be on the lookout for 3 lovely voyagers that would dazzle your world with vivid colors!    Wanna know something extraordinary?! Somewhere along on Route 101, (toward Redwoods NP) five beauteous, magnanimous creatures were grazing on a front lawn of someone's home.
