Mountains from the Rainbow Ridge south of Eureka, California.
View from the car of more redwoods on the "Avenue of Giants" on Route 101. If you put all of the redwood trees end to end, tied them together (with something strong, like duct tape) and waved it in the air, you could poke God in the eye (I wouldn't advise doing this, there's a pretty good chance he'd get really mad).

The cows were not impressed. Apparently, if I read the "comments" correctly, the cow pictures are most popular. Expect more.
It took us a good two and a half hours to go 15 miles today. The GPS took us up and down and around 3 or 4 good sized mountains (that's right, I blamed the GPS). Thus, no drunken brewery / winery pictures. Maybe tomorrow.
We went out to eat tonight at the Riverside Grill in Red Bluff, California. This picture is from our table. This man is prospecting the river near the restaurant. Yes, prospecting (looking for gold and/or treasure). In 2008. He's most likely insane, but his dog was cool.

Hi, you two!
We immediately put the "yes we can" sticker on the car as we left the motel in Medford. Remember us? Bill and Bernie. Glad you saw the giants that live around us. Aren't they great! Did you drive highway 36 to get to Red Bluff? That is our favorite road. Have a safe trip home and remember us out here on the edge of the continent. It is inspiring to meet young people who are so enthusiastic about the world and especially our present political mess.

Glad you checked out the blog. Yes we did take 36! Excellent scenery, quite a contrast from the redwood forests. It was a fun drive, particularly as we got closer to Red Bluff (as you know, the road goes back and forth as well as up and down). Shelly was driving, so we came pretty close to catching air a few times. If we do this kind of trip again, I'll invest in a helmet. It was nice to meet you both.
