Eureka, California is where we woke up this morning. We had a fairly easy ride from Coos Bay, Oregon with a stop in Brookings, Oregon for lunch on the beach. Once again, we saw some amazing scenery on our way. We stopped and did one of those "drive through" the redwood trees on our way...ask me about the video...it's pretty funny!
We found a charming Victorian bed and breakfast in Eureka, which unfortunately, we found the amenities were equally Victorian. Oh well, it had an Irish pub downstairs which made up for anything that was lacking upstairs.
We drove from Eureka to Fort Bragg today, and drove through the Avenue of the Giants. These redwood trees are amazing...so majestic! We are still hoping to do the zip line through the redwoods. Will keep you updated on that. Once we left route 101 and got onto route 1, the road narrowed and became extremely winding! There were "S" curves and sharp corners like I've never seen before...some of them you couldn't go more than 10 mph! It was a challenging drive and it took about an hour and a half to go about 24 miles! I wish we had taken some video on those roads...maybe tomorrow because I'm sure there are more of those roads ahead of us.
Tomorrow we head to San Francisco...good night for now.
