What a day today! We left The Elizabeth Street Inn at around 9 a.m. PST, headed south on the PCH. We had to make a quick stop at the Hi-School Pharmacy (??) for Benadryl, as my eyes were itching and my skin is so red and flaky. Not to spoil any vacay plan, I soldiered on with John at the helm and we saw some magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean and environs. We stopped at Seal Point and Cane Creek park to take pictures. The vibe here is so laid back. I love it and I wish we could summer here, late June to the end of September. There is no humidity, cool breezes and wonderful views at every turn. We were determined to make it here, Klamath, CA, at the mouth of Redwood National Park. These travel days are long and we just hunker down and do it, as we have certain goals for each day. Of course, after touring the Redwood Nat'l Park, we are going to figure out if we have time to go to the Lassen Volcano Nat'l Park on Thursday, which will give us the day Friday to make it to Sacramento to brother Joe's home for a weekend of family fun and recharging of batteries, both literal and figuratively!! We are nestled in at the Holiday Inn Express in Kalmath, CA, which is adjoined by the Native American Casino, as we are on the reservation. John has ordered Elk burgers for supper from the restaurant in the casino so we can chill and catch NCIS and Bull on tv! This has been a very cool day that is so good for the soul. The majesty of the trees and the excellent views of the Pacific Ocean are much to be admired. On our way here, we passed a dispensary of Marijuana. This is so different from Boulder. This outlet was on the 101 PCH and was nondescript. Out in the wilds of Southern Oregon and only a couple of cars in the lot. As I was photographing the signs for said dispensary, I overheard comments from two customers: Man 1: Here's my truck, man. Man 2: Far out. That is one cool truck, man. High much???? Very freaky. The whole state of Oregon is weird. They are very liberal about individual rights, but the homes and land around the coast are very seedy and low rent. I guess if folks stay high all the time, they don't take time to clean up their mess. Very strange.
