Pictures after I’ve had a chance to process them.
We’ve both always wanted to see redwoods. The Muir Woods, just north of the Golden Gate bridge, were the most accessible to us from Vacaville. Sometime, we’d like to visit the Jedediah Smith redwood forest where part of Return of the Jedi was filmed. We made a parking reservation, then used our America the Beautiful Senior Pass to pay the entry fee. We walked the Redwood Creek trail, then the Hillside trail back to the entrance. Had to buy our gew-gaws at the camp store, including a sticker for the RV and a pin for Jim’s hiking stick. Even found a spoon for our collection!
Be warned! The entry road to the Muir Woods improves the gene pool if you’re not careful. It is perhaps the most twisty road we’ve ever been on, with sheer drops off the unguarded, shoulder-less edges. On our way out, we avoided that road, heading toward Muir Beach. CA-1 is still twisty, but not as bad. Most of our travel in and out of the Muir Woods was done at 10-15 mph.
Scallops for dinner after we did some fishing at Safeway.
