Shel: It seems like we never have cell service at the campgrounds and must upload the page the next day! This campground is no exception. Tomorrow we will start are trek toward Salt Lake City - I expect two travel days and we will have to go over two mountain ranges. Today we toured more of the sites around here. As you can see below, these trees are massive and tall - some up to 300'. They don't have a deep root system and it is amazing that they have kept standing for so long. They have some long windy narow dirt roads around here! Had a record today - put over 29 gallons of gas in at one fill-up :(

Geni: Feels like Redwood is what the national parks used to be like before they paved the roads and added lodges and gift stores (tastefully done of course!). We drove down so many unpaved, bumpy, dusty roads in search of more sights to see. The trees didn't disappoint, but what they call coastal drives and scenic routes just didn't seem to come close to any of the other national parks. The only positive thing that happened was that they told us where the elk were and they actually were there! The day was overcast and kind of foggy and we didn't see the sun until around 3:30.

I am in awe of all the people who tent either in solitude or with groups. They are really roughing it. Also, the cyclists who we have seen riding up the mountain roads. Today we talked to four cyclists from England who were riding from Canada to Mexico and they were staying in an RV. We are turning the camper eastwood tomorrow and heading toward home. . .with a few stops along the way.
