Monday 27.7. (Redwood)

Leaving the Crater Lake and Oregon behind us we arrived again to California. Driving down to lower elevations, the ocean is right before us and it starts becoming warmer (in the morning it was about 8 C, at noon it is 30 already). As we approach the ocean, 15 miles from the shore, it gets cooler by 15 degrees and we see a fog coming from the west, which surrounds the shore whole summer. We drive on the dirt road in the redwood grove, where except of the tallest trees in the world there is also other diverse flora creating an impresson of a jurrasic forest. We arrive to the ocean but everything is misty. Great coldness. We drive through the rest of the Redwood National Park, make another short hike between the redwoods and then drive to Eureka to Don and Joyce. Joyce make a perfect dinner (venison), we ate well and went to sleep.
