Left the campsite heading for the Avenue of the Giants. They are not kidding! it is another winding , twisty secondary road but those Redwoods are breath taking. Tall and majestic. One thing about the Americans... they knew a good thing and were smart enough to preserve it. We travelled about 60 miles of these awesome giants following the Eel River. Now, there were some kitchy, touristy displays. Such as the 1 log house, the tree house, another drive through tree, and the miracle tree (it's survived, fire, flood and logging). It took about 2 hours of very scenic viewing.
The only thing that is bothering me is that we have gone from shorts and sandals to jeans and jackets. Not too sure I'm liken this! The sun is still shining but the wind is still blowing. Can't seem to get away from it.
Our friend, Flo, from the Kingman KOA had recommended diferent sights around this area. One of the many suggestions was to have a meal at the Samoa Cookhouse. We did just that tonight for supper. We were not disappointed! It is a surviving logging camp cookhouse that is now a restaurant. They serve everything family style at long tables. There is no menu. You get what ever they are serving. Tonight it was homemade soup, salad, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, roast pork and gravy, corn and spice cake.
They rolled us out of there and we are now laying out here at the KOA just north of Eurika moaning and groaning.
It looks like we are heading for Oregon tomorrow. Can't believe we've been on the road for a month!
