IN THE REDWOODS

Here we are right in the middle of the Redwoods. It’s so quiet here at night, almost spooky because the trees are so big and tall. Only one little problem, pine sap everywhere, including on my paws. Kathe was not very gentle this morning, but she finally removed a rock stuck in between my toes using mayonnaise. Bad news all that work, and I have three more paws!

Today the humans went out to see more Redwood trees at Jedediah Smith State Park. We camped there once but now they only allow 25-foot motor homes, so cross that one off your list. They were however able to hike in the park and see the huge trees along the river.

Later they went to see the Battery Lighthouse in Crescent City, an historic landmark which was built in 1856. It’s a cape cod style lighthouse and still functional. They walked up to the lighthouse to have a picnic and hardly finished their lunch before they were asked to leave. Apparently, the tide was coming in and if they didn’t leave quickly, they would have to wade through water to get back to the car. Or wait till low tide this evening at 8:30 PM. They are home now in time for my dinner.
