Trip Continued

 Between Euereka and Crescent City we came upon on a heard of elk.  They were fun to watch and you can notice the velvet on their new horns.
 Then we came across Paul Bunnion and his Blue Ox
You can't believe how green it is.


And there is growth all over, like these ferns; you would also see wild berries and fox glove flowers.

 Moss is all over on the north side of trees.
We made it to Oregon.

Our Trip

 On June 7th at 10 pm mom and I loaded up in the car;  on the 20th when we got home, here is what the trip milage read on the car.
 We got to San Fransisco as daylight was breaking; here is the Golden Gate Bridge.
 and the sunrise while driving across the Golden Gate Bridge.





 The redwood trees in Leggett, California



 This redwood was hand-carved out and made into a house to show how massive they are.
The inside was 7' tall and 32' long.



And just one more redwood; they are very impressive on how big the are.

all in threes

 I know this is old news but I have had a lot of problems with the blog; I tried it tonight and it has finally started working so hopefully I"ll get some pictures from the trip up if it keeps working. Any way, a couple of weeks back we picked strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, a grapefruit, an orange and a Mandarin orange all in the same day.
