We stayed near the water’s edge last night with the Battery Point Lighthouse in our sights. This is nearly from the same vantage point as last night.

After more than a dozen years passing “TREES OF MYSTERY” and then repeating the phrase in a deep sing-song voice for days we have decided to finally visit this cheesy roadside attraction that pulls in the tourists. Today, we were the tourists.

Big trees are what you find up the hill.

After a stop in the Redwoods National Park and the obligatory Junior Ranger Badge hunt, it was high time to hit the road and finish the 400 miles we’d allocated to drive today that would deliver us to San Jose, California, for the night.
