Good Morning! Well, it's now the afternoon...about 1:30pm. Zo and I just rode into Ferndale, CA, home of the Victorian homes. She's out trying to find them and I'm in here to get you caught up...
We thought Dick, our travel friend, was way ahead of us, but guess who just walked into the library to say howdy...yup! Pretty cool. He took some time in Eureka and that's where we passed him. We had a great breakfast and visited some more and then hit the road at 10am. It was a fast ride into Ferndale. Ran into some truckers, taking a break in Loleta, who told us to definitely visit Ferndale. Nice dudes.
I forgot to mention our stop at Tree of Mystery in Klamath - interesting tourist stop. It's a section of the redwoods that has a bunch of funky-shaped redwoods that resemble things like animals, for example. There's also a huge trunk, called the cathedral tree where many folks have exchanged wedding vows. They also have an Easter service there every year. Interesting and unlikely. Apparently, Paul Bunyan visited there also. We had lunch next to his foot - big foot.
Alrighty...no for some lunch, a few Victorian houses, and then camp at Weott, CA. We're going to ride down a stretch called the "Avenue of the Giants" - an area with some of the largest redwoods ever. Nice.
Thanks, again, to Sue and Harvey, for their fantastic hospitality as well as Kath for having such great parents. I can see now why you're so cool, Kath.
Check y'a later,
M
