Redwoods

We have spent much of the last two days in awe of the huge redwood
trees as we ride past them. There have been several scenic byways
through redwood groves and we take them all. Majestic and old and
gigantic. I will be coming back here again soon.......There are two
significant differences to this portion of the bike trip. First we
have come across as many bikers in our two days on the Cal coast as we
saw crossing the entire country. This route is pretty popular. Second
the ocean is a new factor. It has been foggy in the mornings and
freezing cold all day long. It has been warming up slightly as we head
south but the blistering hot desert of Idaho and Oregon is long gone.
Thats okay though. I gladly take the redwoods over the sagebrush and
do not mind the enveloping mist that comes with them.
