First off, one picture from yesterday that I forgot to post and then promised videos from yesterday of the mighty Pacific from a few different stops along the way.
Wednesday dawned cloudy after rain during the night. But we decided to trust the forecast for clearing and head 30 miles north to view the Redwoods. Good decision! If you don’t like tree pictures, fast forward. No four leaf clovers. Elaine looked for one. The Redwoods are magnificent.
Heading home, we saw some elk by the road. Just females and youngsters. No bucks. Still, we stopped.
On 101 between Trinidad and the Redwoods (35-ish miles) there is one place to stop for food. We stopped at the Snack Shack in Orrick. Well! It was sooo good. Elaine had a hamburger with tots. I had a double elk burger with onion rings. And we chatted up an old resident who told some good stories. And we met a friend of his, a Yurok native American. It was fun. Before lunch there was a brief stop at a beach.
Then it was home for reading, naps, rest, and relaxation. Then cocktails on the deck. Dinner was home cooked – Italian sausage on the grill with peppers and onions. Yum. The views from the deck were, as usual, magnificent including a gorgeous sunset. See the seals on the rock in one picture? Look closely.
Quite a day. And tomorrow looms. Big dining night out tomorrow.
Wow. Angry ocean videos. George Costanza would be proud!
Redwoods are magnificent. Jeff found two four leaf clovers in our yard this week.
Those sausage and peppers look sooo good. Great sunset.
You planted the seed – we’re having sausages on the grill this weekend. Those looked so good!
Those trees always amaze me. Looking pretty small next to them, right! The bluejay was beautiful, great pic.
