A slight change of plans

Left Monterey this morning and got back on the PCH towards San Fran. Our plan was to go up to Point Reys Natl. Seashore and hike around there but the fog along the coast just wouldn't let up. After passing Pacifica and the coolest Taco Bell in the world we decided to head inland and jet up to the Redwoods. All signs say this was a great decision because crossing the Golden Gate Bridge we couldn't even see it due to fog. The inland drive on the 101 was beautiful with all the vineyards and the spectacular mountains. The north of Cali is very different than what we have seen so far. Although it is still "golden" in many places, we are now in dense green forests and have passed lots of BIG trees.

We are now in Garberville, CA in Humbolt County right on the edge of the Avenue of the Giants. Heading into the Redwoods tomorrow and then back down the coast to Paul Garvin's house in Albion. We are very excited. Garberville is a very funky, very small town but one of the nicest stops so far as it is very unpopulated and we met some nice bikers who gave us a few ideas for the trip back to San Fran.

Don't know if we will have internet at Paul's so this might be our last post till San Fran. Not so sure of our plans but it looks like we will get a full day in Napa/Sonoma which we are psyched about after seeing all the beautiful vineyards today. More to come...

P.S. - No pictures today. Sorry. The internet here is just too slow. We'll post a bunch soon.

Also, Dad's camera is the greatest thing ever. I feel like a pro with it. It just takes brilliant shots. Also the iPhone needs a special shrine in our house. The web access and maps saved us many a hassle today.
