We drove from Eugene to Grants Pass, got in late, stayed the night and drove to the Redwood forest the next morning. We barely hit California, started seeing the big trees on the side of the road, staring up and up and up...simply amazed at how big and tall they were, parked when we saw a trail and started exploring. It was a very quick visit, but man was it worth driving clear to California to see! Oh yeah! I hope next time we'll stay longer in that area and explore more!
Can you even see us in this one? We are a tiny blip.

The slugs and snails were HUGE!
Beautiful creek in the middle of it all

I think this was one of our first sightings of the ocean. It was so fun to see it, we were like, "Oh!!! I think I see it!" We were like two young kids on Christmas morning at 4am. The first spotting of the ocean and the waves on HWY 101 was amazing. I LOVE the Ocean, really most bodies of water in general...lakes, creeks, rivers, oceans. It just has an amazing sound, feel, and gives off some sort of freshness on life. I dig it.
We stopped here to eww and ahhh at the gorgeous ocean. Carter was sleeping so I stayed in/near the car and Jason of course went exploring (he does this, I'll turn around and he's all of a sudden a mile away exploring). So I took a pic to show how far away he was. It was hilarious when he finally came back because he said he got in the middle of all sorts of thorny berry bushes and couldn't find a way out. He had a rash up and down his arms and legs from all the thistle. It made me giggle.
