The RedWood Forest

This year we decided to road trip over the holidays.  
Thanksgiving day I spent the day sleeping in until about noon, and then driving a little over an hour from some place in south Oregon to Crescent City, CA.  That's where the Redwoods live (well, apparently they live in New Zealand, too).  They are massive and totally awesome.  We went for a hike through some big ass trees out (and down) to the ocean.  The hike was called Damnation Creek Trail, and it was  a little over 5 miles long.  Well worth it.  I guess on the way back from the ocean to the car it was a little strenous.  Apparently when the trail description says "strenous" they mean it actually totally sucks and you're sweating.  Ha.  It was great, and totally worth it.














So after the hike we drove quite a bit at night to San Francisco, CA.  Stayed at the Parc55 hotel. Wouldn't recommend staying at that hotel if you have a car, but that's another story....



And then it was back up the coast.  Had great time and great weather.
