Through the redwoods to camp

We drove up through the Avenue of Giants to see the giant redwoods. We stopped at the visitor's center and bought more commemorative tokens to add to our collection. Our goal is to have enough to use as replacements for the tokens we use playing Netrunner, Magic or Coup. We came up with this idea only after leaving Yosemite - so I ordered a few of the one's we missed online. This lead to a text from Kha with a photo of the one from Mt Whitney in its packaging asking "What the heck is this?"

I didn't take many pictures as we were driving mostly but we saw many huge trees towering over us. After stopping at a Starbucks in Eureka to download more Rocky movies, we made our way up to Elk Grove Campground. It is absolutely beautiful! We've already seen a few of the Roosevelt Elk in the fields.

Our campsite is 10 feet from a lovely stream and there are ferns and blackberry bushes everywhere.
