What a joy to sleep in! It was a bit cooler by mid morning and we had a good time in the dog park. Rocky found a companion to chase him and he was soon exhausted. I was sad to leave the dog park behind.
Packing up was pretty slow but by afternoon we were driving southwest to California. We followed a lovely route down to Crescent City and the Redwoods. They are so majestic! Our campground is a few miles inland and down in a second growth Redwood Forest. It is amazing to see the large old stumps of the trees that were logged. These stumps surround some of the campsites. We were disappointed that we were not right on the beach – no sounds of the crashing surf. After setting up, we returned to Hwy 101 and found a beach to explore. It was low tide and the tidal pools were full of animals. The starfish were all sorts of colors and there were so many of them. They really like to cram into small corners. I suppose they are protected from the surf there. When we left the beach we saw a small camping area. Rob was excited about it and thought that he may like to camp there the following night.
The silence of the campground was lovely.
