Luckily we had a full propane tank because the temperature dipped down to about 40 last night. However it warmed up quickly as we set out to head north. We traveled on the freeway for about two hours to reach the scenic drive from Redding to the Pacific Coast.
As we headed west we could see snow capped mountains in the distance and knew that we would have to get to what was on the other side of them. The mountains are part of the 2.1 million acre Shasta Trinity National Forest, the largest in California. This forest has 6278 miles of streams and rivers. The road curved and twisted alongside the Trinity River for many miles. We drove through dense forests, up mountains, down mountains and finally reached the coast.
We drove for six hours today and so were pleased to get a spot at the Mud River Rapids RV Park. Tomorrow we will drive through the Redwood Forest. A change of wardrobe is definitely in order...we will have to dig out the jeans and socks.

Hey Judi and Michelle:
We are greening up the grass a bit here for your return; haven't seen any snowflakes this week.
I'll bet you have some great trees pictures. :) Enjoy your remaining week on the other coast.
