Camping in the coastal forest; Siuslaw National Forest

Finally in the forest and warming up by walking; Giant Spruce Trail

Elk Creek Falls, on NF-33, a small road in the back country

Coastal view to show it's not always raining. We stayed in a motel through big wind and rain 🌧️

Into California and straight to these coastal redwood beauties; Simpson-Reed Grove

We spent the day here and along the gorgeous Howland Hill Rd, winding through the trees

Elk 🫎 - so great to see them up close at Elk Prairie Campground where we camped in the forest

Tall Trees Grove walk, accessed with a permit; amazing and beautiful 😍

Coastal Redwood, the tallest trees in the world

Eureka town: beautiful wooden buildings, fancy shops, and lots of messed-up homeless people

Amazon delivery trucks - everywhere, all the time!

More beautiful redwood forest, after a couple of nights sheltering from rain at Rio Dell

Sometimes the sun shines through the redwoods 😀

Finally some clear weather at the coast; we camped the night near Fort Bragg

Forest, Coast, and into California

9–15 Nov 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

We commenced our 3-week road trip travelling the coastal area from Oregon to northern California, alternating between camping and cheap motels (due to weather), and visiting beautiful forests and beaches. It took about a week to travel what many would do in a day - it was great!

Mark has done a separate post about big trees, including the ones we sought out 😄 - on walking trails, roads, or in the middle of the forest; it was fun.

The contrasts of America were really apparent to us during this time. From incredible natural beauty to mega-development and consumption; poor people living in trailers or on the street to rich mansions with superb views. We didn't take photos of the ugly stuff, but it was there in our faces at times.Baca lagi
