This afternoon we arrived in Benbow, California in the heart of the redwoods. We've stayed here two other times as we passed through the redwoods and we were really looking forward to our night here. Just one small problem, it has turned into a KOA and there are about a thousand kids on bicycles whipping around the streets. Also, Kathe is a bit upset that they raised the prices to just about double what we paid two years ago.
The good news is that the blackberry bushes are still here, just hacked back enough to make it difficult to reach them. And they still have my favorite doggie park and doggie wash in the way back of the park. The old funky trailers are gone, but they have been replaced by exactly 23 "kamping kabins." It's the beginning of Labor Day weekend and it's a bit of a zoo!
After Kathe and Jim shared their lunch with me, I took a nap and they went out to explore the "Avenue of the Giants." They took a short hike in the Rockefeller Grove and took some pictures of the beautiful trees.
If you look real close in the left corner of the last picture you can see the bicycles on the top of our car. These trees are HUGE!
Well, Kathe and Jim just got back from dinner at the historic Benbow Inn and as usual so doggie bag!
