Day 8
Road trip down south was great. Made many scenic stops along the way. This was a pee stop al'natural, what a view to go in.
Pulled over to check out the Elks at the Meadow in Prairie Creek State Park.
Pulled over on exit #768 on Klamath Breach Road to go to high bluff for a picnic ocean view.
Then exit #765 Newton B Scenic Parkway to get out through the north.
Then we took Ferndale and went through the historical downtown and saw some nice architecture, it was a drive by to check out old Colorful well maintained Victorian Houses. We made it onto the Lost Coast road to check out what that was about. We weren't impressed or maybe we are just spoiled with natural beauty. All that work of driving in windy road to get on Ferndale Petrolia Road passing lots of barns and hills. It really felt like a different state through there.
Then we pulled out onto Mattol Road into Humboldt Redwood State Park through to Rockefeller Forest. By the time we got there it was too dark. The very tall trees were intimidating. It was too much for all of us girls and we got out of there as soon as we could. Didn't get off the road to our destination till 11:30pm. Much later than we would of liked but all the stops we made were worth it and fun.
