We woke up pretty early and packed up our sleeping gear. I was anxious to get back to Ant, but we could not resist an early walk in the beach. There is something wonderful about crawling out of a tent and being so close to the beach. On our way back to the campground we collected a permit to visit the Tall Tree Grove. I was happy to see Ant and Rocky were safe at the camper. After a good breakfast and hot showers we headed south. The area reported the tallest tree on earth in the 60’s. It was a long, dusty drive followed by a steep walk down to the grove. Once we got there I was rather unimpressed by the ‘Tall Tree’. It was the same height as the trees near by. Approx 350ft tall. I later discovered that the top had broken off many years ago, and it had lost its status as tallest tree. The walk up and out of the grove was quite challenging. We dawdled our way back to Crescent City, seeing many more trees along the way. The boys invaded the beachfront park while Rocky and I explored the lighthouse and pier. When we got home Mike made us a meatloaf. Rob and I had to return to the park to pick up his forgotten jacket. Rob attended an evening program. While he was there it got dark. Rob hates the dark so Mike offered to collect him with a lantern to light their way. Sometimes they can be so kind to one another.
