These pictures are winnowed from over 350 of Grant's collection of our trip. I tried not to post duplicates of what I took in the next post down, but instead to include his unique point of view.

| We stopped to check out the views as we descended out of the mountains into the Buttes |
 |
| Mount Lassen in the distance |
 |
| The foliage is subtly beautiful |
 |
| The motel we stayed at in Klamath. There was no Wi-Fi or cell service; just what we needed |
 |
| Our comfortable lodgings for our first night on the coast |
Day 2 - Prairie Creek Redwood State Park, Fern Canyon, Gold Bluffs Beach, Wilson Creek Beach, Crescent City.

When we stopped at the Trees of Mystery museum, Grant took different pictures that I did. I share a few.

| A perfect ending to a perfect day |
Day 3 - We stayed fairly locally for the day. We drove into Crescent City, visited the Lighthouse, went back to Wilson Creek Beach, and walked along Crescent Beach, checking the tides and finding "art".

Gulls & Terns

How does it hold it's foot up so long? And why?

| That's a fish he's guarding! |
Good night!
Day 4 - We had our coffee and cigs on the beach before packing up and heading south. We stopped one last time to see high tide on Wilson Creek Beach, and stopped again in Weaverville to visit the museum and stretch our legs.
