Last day in Redwoods – same traffic control/jam due to US-101 rockslide – there was a continuous splash in sea – so I assumed this is a friendly California big whale saying goodbye to me or simply sunbathing.. ๐
One of the lessons learned from last Kauai trip – if the place has been pictured in Jurassic Park, it is great! – so we went here without any doubt. Small taste of off-road driving from unexpected mountainous unpaved roads and crossing the small creak with mini-van was a bonus indeed.
This was the toughest decisions to make for this trip – This area is not officially part of Redwoods National and State Park, a bit far south & ‘middle of nowhere’ from our main destination (requires 2 hours of return back driving) so wondered a lot during the planning process but made the mind while driving down to Oregon – and this was one of the best decisions I believe we made.. ๐
Bye Oregon Coast – now some portion of the road temporarily becoming freeways and trees with thicker base kind of tells me I am close to the original destination of this crazy drive
