Up and at it early (9am) today and after a quick stop at Trees of Mystery, it was on down the 101, through the Avenue of Giants and then down the 1 towards Fort Bragg. We drove this route, along the Oregon and California Coast 6 years ago for our honeymoon. Although we are now driving it the opposite way, its been fun to stop at familiar places and remember what it was like then, when we were just married. There's that motel we stayed at. Remember how awful Mo's clam chowder was? Hey look, there's that cool little town we ate lunch in...


We left Princess Leia inside a redwood tree along the Avenue of Giants near one of the first west side pull outs north of the Immortal Tree. She was a replacement for a Leia I had since I was 19. This Leia has been with us since just before our wedding in October 2002. She stood up as one of Laura's bridesmaids. But she is old and tired so we left her there in Endor to live out her remaining days surrounded by beauty. May the Force be with her.





We cut off towards the coast again on highway 1. Not the most RV-friendly route, but very pretty. If I can drive that route, I can drive the motorhome anywhere. We ended up parking at Harvest Foods in Mendocino for the night. Nice little town.
