Take me for a ride in your car, car

Phew. This trip is wonderful, but entirely too much driving.

Avenue of the Giants

NewMexiKen and Dad detoured from U.S. 101 to take the “Avenue of the Giants” through part of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. This photo does no justice to the magnificent trees, or to the spooky somewhat primeval feeling one had driving through a forest nearly dark from lack of sunlight reaching the ground. I kept thinking, “Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!”

San Francisco

“The City” as seen early Tuesday afternoon from Sausalito, just before we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge (toll now $5). I think you can see the tilt of the earth in this photo, though possibly I was just holding the camera badly.
