Coast, redwoods, traveling-Aug 8

I jumped out of the car and ran around the tree to watch. Here comes grandpa through the tree!!! We saw another SUV come through. It was an elderly man driving and we heard and saw the passanger side of the mirror come off. I felt bad for him.Tomorrow we plan to do alot of driving. We are headed for Yosemite and probably not spend too much time there, but head on for Colorado. Nevada will be mostly a drive through.Weather is nice today once away from the coast. It was 92 this afternoon, bright sunny sky.
It looked a little tight, but we pulled in the one mirror
We drove through some more redwoods on a scenic route and we are so glad we did. We came to this "drive through" tree.
The sand is a darker color. It is hard to find sea shells in this area. We found some nice rocks.
It was cool enough for a light jacket for me, but Mel didn't feel it was necessary. After walking over the sand and sinking in, it did warm a person up.
This morning we ate our continental breakfast and then went to walk along the coast for awhile. We went to a recreational area with sand dunes. We could have driven our car out along the water but we were afraid to try it. We did have a car pass us. It was a Subaru driving at the water's edge!! We just enjoyed walking over the sand dunes and along the water. Temp was 56 and was overcast this am.

Yes, Marlene, we did have our feet in the Pacific Ocean.It was cold but we had our water walking shoes on that we used to creek walk with the youth group. It still got our feet all sandy, wet and cold! About the fence, it was only part way by the tree. I did not need to climb the fence.:0)
