Stout Grove Redwood Forest, Crescent City, CA


Sun drenched day with a temp of 68 – you can guess that we are very happy!
We went to the Stout Grove Redwood Forest.  It’s about an 8 mile drive through the forest with lots of big old Redwood Trees, some over 3000 years old!   They grow 311’ tall with a root base of only 10-13’ down, but roots spread 60-80’ straight out!  We walked the loop trail, only a ½ mile as my poor feet have not recovered from yesterday’s long walk.
We returned to Crescent City and found a McDonald’s!  Who would believe that I would hunt down a McDonald’s!  We are hooked on their Chicken snack wraps and the Iced Latté vanilla flavoured coffee. We then decided it was so nice, went over to visit the seals again then returned to Shoreline RV, B-7 waterfront resort, put our chairs up on the berm and enjoyed the afternoon weather.  We fed the squirrels, but soon we were over run with a dozen hungry critters.  We watched the pelicans diving for fish and watched the tide go out.  It was very relaxing and just the road break we needed.
We’re going to stay one more night as the weather forecast is great!

Baby Seal in Crescent City Harbour, he was looking for us to feed him!


those are our chairs on top of the berm, and this is the view from the motorhome front window!
