We have made it to Highway 101 that traverses the West coast close to the ocean. It is a very curvy road but beautiful. So far we have been pretty high up on cliffs and have not been able to get to the ocean but that is about to change. As we near our destination and start descending towards sea level we see signs proclaiming our nearness to the reason we are here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no words, pictures, or videos that can capture the grandness, age, or beauty of these woods. It is like they absorb all sound around you. Even the dogs are quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, a little morbid but they have gotten their point across. We will be keeping Eli and Jake on lead just in case they think they want to go rushing into the ocean. As is turns out we need not have worried. Eli did not like the attack-retreat behavior of the the water. Jake seemed mostly confused about Eli\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are still chasing spring and I am still enjoying the wildflowers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one reminds me of petunias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the fun things about traveling to different parts of the country, and climates, are the road signs warning people of a particular hazard. Along the east coast drivers are warned that \u201cBridge freezes before road.\u201d In the south and mid west are signs for the nearest hurricane evacuation routes and tornado shelters. Along the California coast are tsunami signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There must be a lot of bear activity in this area as well. Most of the little towns we pass through have statues of bears. Klamath, where we will be staying, has Gold Bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long day of traveling it is nice to arrive at our new backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
