We made our way down from Crater Lake to the northern California coast to see the redwoods. We came down highway 199, with our super-duper Trucker's GPS squawking the whole way "Not a Truck Route", and my navigation backup, the Rand McNally Trucker's Atlas, said the same thing. But the signs said we were OK, only no trailers over 60', and we met some REALLY long trucks on some curves that were well over THAT limit! Anyway we made it.

This tree couldn't wait for the Redwood
to decompose... |
I talked to the nice Ranger about trimming trees, and he asked where we traveled from. He told us that Oregon has THE BEST State Parks, and don't expect that in California, we charge more and give you a lot less....... OK, scratch the Cal State Parks from our list, Walmart offers more. He told us all the hot spots to see the Redwoods, his park and more down the coast. We have to do a lot of hiking these next few days, because I fear in San Francisco we'll be doing a lot of EATING!
There was one tree along side the road on the inside of a curve that was notched so the big trucks wouldn't hit it. Another tree I saw needed an notch because it was scared up, wouldn't like to be the truck to have hit it!
