Paul Bunyan



The whole theme of the park was about Paul Bunyan, there were several carvings and stories about how Paul Bunyan and his friends hung out in the redwoods.

Dad under his foot:)

Jeffry having fun in the redwoods:)





It took some convincing to have him sit up there, but he seems to be enjoying himself. He was the only one of us who could hoist themselves up:).

Sky Trail





Inside the park, at the end of the trail was a gondola called sky trail. The view was breathtaking and even being so high in there air we were traveling among the tops of these giant trees. The pictures do not do the view justice.

Mom Wade at the top of Sky Trail on the viewing deck:).

Trees of Mystery






Trees of Mystery is a park just outside of Klamath, CA that has several interesting and unique tree formations in it. Most are too hard to capture on a camera phone, there were several trees that grew off the backs of other trees in very strange directions. One we saw had three trees growing up from a fallen branch, it was called the candelabra, another was a giant 320 ft tall tree that had fallen, yet two other trees over 8 ft in diameter grew from its' side. We also saw a tree that looked like a lightning rod with a very distinct zig-zag pattern. This was an amazing little tour of the redwoods and all their varieties and mysterious tendencies. Most of the trees we saw ranged between 150 to 300 ft. tall and at least 4 ft. in diameter.

Starfish Findings




Daddy Jeff went hunting for starfish:). There were several and they had a burgundy color to them.

Crescent City California





Our first day in California we went to see one of the Crescent City Lighthouses and several sea lions and seals that we watched for hours:). What a gorgeous little town.
