Gavin well need I say more?Day 3 Redwoods, first dip in the ocean and the Sea Lions
we go through the Redwoods and try to find the tree you can drive through come to find out there are 5 or so throughout the forest apparently the idea caught on the one we found was not the best of the bunch I am sure.
My sis. mindy at the outhouse it was the funnest thing we saw a hollowed out tree with a crescent moon on the door too cute.
The kids in front of an old redwood
the Tree you can drive through (barely) needless to say we didn't try with the trailers.
