May 29, 2014

Yesterday was a travel day up to Redwoods RV Resort just north of Crescent City. We decided to take the longer route up I-5 so that we could see Mount Shasta and Lake Shasta. Even though we are from Colorado and have seen mountains for over 30 years there, Mount Shasta is pretty cool. I think it is because we are seeing it from around 3000 feet. It appears to be taller than the mountains in Colorado even though I know it is not.

Today, May 29, 2014 we went south on US 101 and hiked the Damnation Trail. It is only around a 5 mile round trip, but you hike down over 1000 feet to the ocean. And of course we had to hike the 1000 feet back up to the Jeep.

 

 

 

After the hike we went down to the Klamath River Overlook. We were told there may be Gray Whales. After picnicking on the point, a pod of whales showed up. We must have snapped 40 or more pictures and could not get them above water. Chris did get them on a video but it is too big to load up on this application.
