**this is a warning... it will take you a while to get through this blog post.**

Seeing as i didn't have access to internet yesteryday I am behind a day in telling you of the adventures i have had!! yesterday was my busiest day!! the dravie i was to take was suppose to take only 2 hours (much like the day before) but it ended up taking me almost 9 hours! ha!! now, let me say this: i didn't drive for those 9 hours...

so let's start with the morning and the amazing Crescent City Harbour... while i was there i also saw a seal playing in the water AND a boat called 'the Amanda' ...

Next on my journey was the entering of the REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK! at the sign there i met a very nice couple, Don and Wendy that were on their way up to Portland. They didn't know anything about canada but i changed that! they also had trouble pronouciating the province 'saskatchewan'...

YUP. this is Paul Bunyun and his Blue Ox. They were right in the middle of the park. so i took a picture.

Driving down the windy twisty road for hours and seeing these huge tall trees... i wish there was a word to describe them! they were so incredibly tall and there were so many of them.

after driving up and down these windy roads for what seemed like hours i decided to take a little detour to a beach and see what i could find. LOW AND BEHOLD i end up entering GOLD BLUFFS Beach were there is the famous FERN CANYON. so i decided to check it out. The drive to get there was worth the trip alone... through creeks, on dirt roads for ever around tight curves, praying no one is coming the other way... having to have my headlights on at 2pm because of the caves you are driving in and out of. simply breathtaking. ... fren canyon, once i got there... was amazing too... i had to walk through the creek most of the way to get into the heart of this canyon and it was soo cold, but totally worth it.

this is the entrance to the park. this is looking into Fern Canyon.

Last night, once i made it through the TREE... yes, i drove through a tree... good thing my car is small. i took some pictures but they they didn't turn out very good. sorry. So, after i drove through the tree, i ended up in Fort Bragg where i spent the night. I took a walk down to the beach there and watched the most amazing sunset ever!! This isn't a picture of me... it was a girl i met who loved being my model for a few minutes!

basically, went the sun went down, so did i. I had time to think over the day and as i tried to reflect on everything i saw and the beauty of it all, i was too overwhlemed to comprehend anything really. it was a weird feeling... still is. kinda like floating on a cloud... not really knowing what to think, other than God is good.
