Camping at Klamath: It rained hard last night with lightening and thunder. Needless to say, the bears didn't bother coming out; they have more sense than that! The ground was pretty wet but it was a rain most needed in this drought-plagued area, so we rejoice with the locals about it.
We stop for breakfast at the Log Cabin and then head north to the Redwoods for the day.

We drove to Crescent City and took the loop from there through Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. One particular grove, called Stout Grove has trees over 2000 years old.
This is an incredibly rough, narrow road through the forest. Trees take priority, so at times you wind around several in a row like an obstacle course. RVs and big trucks are not recommended.

For those who want to hike, there are plenty of trails with varying degrees of difficulty and length.
Johnnie found his dream RV in the forest today. He was shy to stop and ask the owner for a tour of it, but we got a few photos on the sly. I can just see us in this!

| This guy travels with all the necessities: kayak on top, ladder on the side |
 |
| Can't you see us in this "short bus"? Fits us to a T! We are arguing about color though; Johnnie wants camo, of course, I am thinking rainbow colors would be best. What do you think? Will any of our camping friends still go with us? |
After the rainforest we stop at CC's Diner in Crescent City then I get my hair done at Shear Joy, also in Crescent City. Boy, that felt good! Every trip should include regular hair appointments! And the best part, Tory, the stylist who did my hair, is a Christian! In fact she is a Women's ministry leader at her church, Hope Ministries in Crescent City and we had a wonderful time of sharing as well as getting me back to looking respectable. God is good and gives us these divine appointments for our encouragement and pleasure.
We get back to the camper and could smell the wonderful pot roast we put in the crock pot this morning. That was nice after a day of sightseeing. Our new 2.5 qt. crock pot works great in the camper and is the perfect size for two people.
What a nice day we have had! Once again I thank you Lord for blessing us so richly!
