A Big Blue Ox and his Big Owner

Do you want to know where Paul Bunyon and his ox, Babe, are? Well, we found them just before the border going into Oregon!

Plant Life (and other life forms)

We stopped in Redwood National Forest to see this big redwood tree which was mighty impressive. I think I had just as much fun taking photos of other things in the area.

A bird in the hand...

is worth two in the bush? We saw two birds that seemed mighty used to being around people. This one was sitting right next to us on the porch where we spent one night. I'm not sure what kind he is. Anyone know?

This Stellar Jay (I'm pretty sure that is what he is) joined us the minute we opened our door. He didn't seem to mind the paparazzi at all!

Moving up the Coast

Next we visited a beautiful little town called Trinidad. It had these great views and a Lighthouse.

The California poppies were in abundance.

A bit further up the coast we stopped at a place called Patrick's Point and walked down to the beach to eat our picnic.

Redwoods!

We stopped to take a walk in Richardson Grove State Park and look at the Redwoods. The following photos were all taken in this park.

Fort Bragg: The rest of the story

This was the view from our hotel room. Lovely!

After our wonderful breakfast at The Egghead Restaurant, we wandered around the town. One of the cute little stores was Pippi Longstockings. You know I HAD to buy some striped socks here!

A view of the coastline in the area.

Two Things Challenge: Yellow/Brick

We ate at this restaurant in Fort Bragg called The Egghead Restaurant. It was one of the best breakfasts we had on the entire trip! I highly recommend it if you are ever in this area.
