The cars like the faster road and I like the road with a view.

The Klamath River goes past Requa before it opens into the Pacific.
Klamath River starts in Oregon and is the second longest river in California.  In this area of the Pacific is a whale watching area.   The fishing industry is big too.

I remember friends when in elementary school that told about being in a car going through a big tree. This must have been the place.

Exploring the Redwood National and State Park on the Berry Glen Trail.
These trees are so impressive.  For many years the redwoods were harvested and about 100 years ago organizations  started taking preservation efforts.  I was surprised to learn that the National Park was not created until  1968.  There are many area close to enjoy this natural phenomenon.

The beach at Big Lagoon County Park.

Sue-Meg State Park trails.
The name of the park was Patrick, but it was renamed in honor of the the area had when the Yurok people lived here.  In addition to the coastal redwoods, you will see Sitka spruce, hemlock, pine, and red alder.

Hike and bike campsite.
Many State Parks in California offer hike/bike campsite.  Facilities are primitive and it is best to check ahead to get the specifics on the stop.

Picturesque Trinidad Inlet
The first town was Trinidad.  It is one of California's smallest incorporated cities with a population of 367.  There are 10 public beaches here and you see the off shore rocks in the photo above.  The area is part of the California Coastal  National Monument which run along the shore to protect the environment. 
Picture
This community incorporated several smaller settlements.

I like to check to see what these areas offer.

I am glad to take the time to explore the McKinleyville area.

The air off the ocean was refreshing today.
Picture
The plaza in Arcata is a hub of activity, surround by many shops and places to eat.

Heading to Eureka.
Eureka is a city of 25,000.  It is the largest port town between San Francisco and Portland.  It is also a deep sea port, the only one between Coos Bay and SF. If you love Victorian homes, you will love this place.  The Sequoia Park Zoo sounds interesting too.
