Redwood National Park






Today we had sun after 4 days of rain and fog. What a beautiful day it was!! The sky was bluer, the forest greener, and the ocean was turquoise. We drove the scenic roads to see the redwoods---the most magnificent trees. They grow up to 370 ft tall and can be as old as 700 yrs. During the day, the fog would roll in off the ocean and the woods were shrouded with mist--it is supposed to be like the climate during dinosaur days. It looked just like the set of Jurassic Park. Lady Bird Johnson dedicated this park in 1968--we walked the LBJ trail to the site and a plaque in honor of her work. Fred was most excited about all the elk in the park. We spotted some eating apples under a tree in someone's yard. Others were bedded down in meadows. What a great day!!!
