We leave Eureka, CA this morning with several layers of our clothing on, as temperatures are in the low 50's, and fog and mist hanging low over the coast. We follow Hwy 101 into the Redwood N.P. and S.P. and are still impressed by the size and age of those tree. Imagine they were already standing there before even Columbus discovered the continent, before Julius Caesar conquered Europe, if those trees could only talk. We follow the coastline and contrary to the days before, today the sky cleared and we can see the rugged Oregon coast. It is everything of what we imagined through the glimpses of mist from the past days, and with the gusty high winds the ocean is really pushed hard against the shore. The white capped waves breaking at the rocks in the ocean is a sight I could watch for hours. But we push on encouraged by the nice weather and pass through countless State Parks and along Beaches, one nicer than the other. Exhausted from working against the high winds all afternoon we call it the day in Florence, OR.
Meeting my friend in Eureka, CA, a little taller than me.
Could drive through those woods for hours on no end, Redwood N.P.

"Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another." - John Muir
