Day 48

Welcome! Day 48 (Sept 25) of North to Alaska

 

Quote: “No matter where you go, there you are.”

Tonight we are in Crescent City, CA. The day started with a so-so breakfast. I let Cassie sleep late again. So we got a late start to what proved to be a long day. We left about 10 and arrived in Crescent City about 7:10. Driving time was about 7 hours but we stopped often as we travelled along the coast of Oregon on Highway 101. While I do like the mountains the view of the waves hitting the shore is a site to behold. As you would imagine, the road was full of curves much like some of the mountain roads but with the added slowdowns of many small towns along the way. Also we encountered much more traffic than on any of our mountain roads.

The drive today was tiring but we did stop often, I think Cassie would have been happy to stop at every pullout. If we did we would still be driving.

I did take a lot of pictures but I will only share a few today.

Crescent City is near the Redwoods so tomorrow before heading south we will tour some of the forest.
