Redwood Coast Cabins and RV Resort Eureka, California

Mileage:  50,674

We reached California and the Redwood Highway early this morning.  Our first redwood tree sightings were from the RV as we drove down the highway.  We parked the RV alongside the road and packed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for our hike.   We walked into the rainforest and it was so quiet and still.  I felt like I should whisper.  I had such a powerful sense of connection to this place.  It was my church today.  The immense grandeur of these ancient beautiful trees takes your breath away.  Being immersed among them with the sunlight beaming through the canopy was an uplifting and spiritual experience.  The smell was earthy and organic.  The breeze was pleasant and mild.

We saw some Roosevelt Elk on our way to the Kuchel Visitor Center.

We watched a film “The Land of the Giants.”

We stayed at the Redwood Coast RV Resort in Eureka.  The kids went out to a winery this afternoon.

Kyle treated us to a delicious dinner at Humboldt Bay Bistro.
