As we headed up the coast from Fort Bragg we came through this little stretch of highway. The trees formed a beautiful canopy over the highway. There is such diversity along highway 101 and highway 1. You just don't know what to expect around the next turn. What a beautiful drive.
This is the world famous tree house from Ripley's Believe It or Not. Unfortunately it was not open either day we were by it. We still stopped and took some pictures.
Note that I cannot get the tops of these trees in the picture, even rotating the camera did not help. These trees are hundreds of feet tall and live up to the title of this section of highway 101, "The Avenue Of The Giants" around Fortuna.
When we got to Patrick's Point we went out to the park and found these sea lions on a rock just off the coast. They were at least a half mile away and we could still hear them above the roar of the waves. They are incredible!
