Day 9: Redwoods National and State Parks
Lack of cell service and excessive driving have preventing posting.
We drove from Eugene to the Oregon dunes and found Sun Buggy Rentals. These guys were hilarious and awesome. We were able to rent, did the safety briefing, and they gave us an hour and a half for the price of an hour.
We did not get stuck, but apparently I drive like an old lady.
Hayden still had to find the "oh shit" handle a couple of times, so I couldn't have been too slow.
From there, we continued down the coast. Amazing drive.
(Natural Bridges)
We landed in Redwoods NP with just enough daylight to set up the tent.
And it was an early night. And a cold night. But, no bears in the camp, so that's a win.
Day 9 Totals:
369 miles
$358
Day 9 Lessons:
1. When Little Caesar's is right next to a place called "Sticks and Stoned"... makes for an entertaining wait for pizza.
2. Tempers were short today. Looking forward to not being in the car all day when we get to San Francisco!
3. The Oregon coastline is something I would like to hike.
Day 10: Are we going to San Francisco?
More campsite pics from Mill Creek Campground, in the daylight:
Today we did the shortest hike possible to check out the Big Tree as part of the Redwoods Parks (a whopping 0.1 miles):
And then we also stopped by the Big Lagoon:
Popped in for some lunch:
And then finally landed in San Francisco:
It was a long day of driving.
Today's Totals:
$475
Around 425 miles, I'll have to double check.
Today's Lessons:
1. Don't take the California 1 starting in Leggett. There was maybe a mile total that wasn't curved. Miles and I almost got carsick from the weaving. When it finally broke onto the coast, it was a little better, but holy dangerous roads. No way Hayden was driving that.
2. Found the cheapest gas at $4.11. Better than the $4.75 when we entered into Cali...
We will be heading to Alcatraz, and touring the city - I wish we had more time here, I forgot how much I love it.
