Jedidiah Redwoods and the Ocean

Another wonderful day. We traveled through the Jedidiah Redwood forests today. We took a trail and saw beautiful trees in all different situations; some on their side and some that we could walk under. The ones on their side seemed longer than when the trees were standing. Amazingly tall and amazingly fat. What majestic trees!

After our walk through the woods it was time to eat our picnic lunch. We used a cut off stump of a redwood as our picnic table. It was huge and easily handled all the things we had to choose from to fill our plates. The chipmunks and Dirty Bluejays were chomping at the bit to scarf down our meal. Wendy kept shooing them all away with, "Not yet, we aren't finished and it isn't your turn." It was hilarious.

We continued our trek to the Pacific Ocean on the coast in Cresent City. We enjoyed tipping our toes in the water and taking pictures of the rocky coast. Along the bay were piles and piles of crab cages. A different world from Indiana.

On our way home we stopped and enjoyed a box of Hagen Daz ice cream bars. We rested a couple hours in the hotel and then went to Marie Calanders for dinner. We met Pat and Wendy and Abigal. It was our farewell dinner. After dinner all said their goodbyes and promised to keep in touch. We enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of the Wehlers and Lewis's.

It is almost ten oclock and we are readying for bed. Tomorrow will be a long day as we hope to reach Salt Lake City by nightfall. It will be another 12 hour day.
