We left this morning around 8:30am. Drove until about 5:30pm. We went through a portion of the Redwoods called “The Avenue of the Giants”. The trees were HUGE and gorgeous! As we drove through them I couldn’t help but think what heaven would look like. God has given us awesome scenery here on earth…the Grand Canyon, Redwoods, Ocean, Mountains, Stars in the sky at night. I wondered what spectacular things He is preparing for those who call Him Lord. It’s an interesting thought and it’s actually hard to imagine.
We drove through little towns today and stopped along the way. The roads we traveled were very curvy. I think by about 4pm I was beginning to feel carsick. We traveled on this 2-lane road (Route 20) from Willits to Fort Bragg and we dare not go much over 20 mph the whole way due to the curves in the road. I was so glad when we finally got through that leg of the trip.
Rick and I are really having fun together. It’s been a great trip. We thought we might get home on Sunday but we may not make it there until Monday or Tuesday. Tomorrow we plan on leaving Fort Bragg and heading down HWY 1 along the coast to San Francisco. We aren’t sure where we are going to stay. We haven’t made reservations anywhere for the trip home, we are just staying where we want once we get tired of driving. It’s a bit more adventurous doing it this way.
More later…now it’s time to hit the sack. Hope you enjoy reading about our journey. We are having a blast!
