Day Twelve Sep 10, 2000 Sunday Eureka to Coos Bay We woke up in Eureka, and shot a roll of film. The city was pretty, and we added Humboldt State University to Dave's collection of college photos. There were a couple of interesting stores, a storefront business office for a group advocating Marijuana legalization, and the old mill area out on a small peninsula into the ocean. As we pressed north, we got several excellent pictures of the next few stands of redwoods (in the bright sunshine). Then at the last stop, managed to lose the roll of film. Oh well, we wouldn't let that get us down. As we headed north to Oregon, we took pictures of our first encounters with the beautiful Pacific Ocean coastline. It was cloudy and threatening rain, but the scenery and the pictures were memorable for us. Of course, this coastline is typical all the way north to Canada, so the next few days will have many pictures like these. We couldn't drive by this sight without stopping for a picture. This giant Paul Bunyan and Babe his blue ox are in Kalmath, California at the "Trees of Mystery". (See Jesse for scale next to Paul Bunyan's boot). Of course, Paul 'spoke' to the kids from a hidden speaker somewhere: "Hi! Where are you guys from? Come on inside. etc" The day brightened up for some spectacular scenery captured in these pictures. Near the Oregon border in Crescent City, CA we stopped of this picture of Lyn with the barking seal at "Ocean World". We always have to stop for pictures like these, don't you? Later in this trip we lost our backpacks (with our note books). Thanks for those who wrote and reminded us where this "mystery picture" was taken! You are true traveler friends.
