Our trip continued through San Franciso. We ate a a damn good place that made awesome breakfast omelettes and crepes. After that we took our travels up through Willits and Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt State Park. Highlights included Confusion Hill and driving our car through a redwood tree. We finally reached our stop in Eureka, California.
We decided to split today’s previous plan of driving straight to Beaverton,OR into 2 days. 12 hours was way too long of a drive to enjoy what we see.
We are currently in the coastal city of Eureka, Ca. We just finished our dinner at a local Italian restaurant, Mazzotti’s and the girls are getting ice cream at a local ice cream store. Eureka is cold with an overcast. It’s more humid up here with a strong “sea scent”. It’s 9 right now, but the sky is still illuminated.
We were at the Humboldt State Park earlier and drove on the Avenue of the Giants. This was a road that paralleled the 101 with huge Redwood trees everywhere. Simply beautiful and majestic.
