Miles 52, Total 527
It was a beautiful ride today. We only had to ride a few miles and we were in the “Avenue of the Giants”. We rode through the State Park with those beautiful Redwoods for 30 miles. We stopped at some of the walks and at the Visitor’s Center and it ended up taking most of the day getting through.
I just love to be amongst those trees. Many of the big ones are at least 1,500 years old and it is just humbling to think of the things those tress have sensed in the world during all those years. I always think of The Lord of the Rings and those trees in their deep voices talking about things that have gone on in their long lives. Riding at 11 mph thorough that park was just a wonderful experience.
As always, we pack a lunch to eat somewhere along the way. We looked at things in the visitors center and then had lunch outside on a picnic table. These last few days haven’t really gotten all that warm. It was probably 55 to 60 degrees all day today.
We are in a KOA in Benbow, which is about 10 miles outside the park. The KOA has a hot tub and it was kind of nice to soak in that hot water at the end of the day.
We had hamburger helper, and salad for dinner. It really was quite good, but maybe, I was just so hungry. 😊
I hope you enjoy some of the pictures.
