Traveled to California for "Vacation" *ahhem* a visit with my inlaws. I escaped for a 2 day camping/hiking trip in the Redwoods by myself.

I camped at Gold Bluffs Beach in Prairie Creek State Park...it was foggy and freezing. I could see my breath by 8pm and nearly froze at night. Here are a few photos from the trip. Unfortunately weather did not coperate with me but it was still fun.


Started at 4am, drove up I5 to Redding - Stopped in an Olive Grove to take this....

Newton B Drury Senic Parkway [runs parallel to the 101] I took this road north both days as it rarely had anyone else on it.

Anemone - hard to capture underwater, no filters :/

    One of the prettiest places in the state. The Lost Coast offers even more isolation.

    I love this part of the state! So far I think it's my favorite, but I did not get photos nearly as good as these.

    I hope you had a great time, and I love that shot of the hungry seagull. thumb.gif

    Great pics of a beautiful place. I like the one of the redwood trees the best.

    I have to say I'm the most impressed with your capture of the beautiful Elk. Nice job!
