On the left is the 'Family Tree'. Can you see how a new tree seems to grow off the limb of the original tree?
We learned that a redwood tree has no tap root. The roots are all surface roots. Makes you wonder how these trees stand and grow for so long.
After we had finished our tour of the trees, we drove back the coast route to our RV park. This is where the Klamath River enters the Pacific Ocean.
The picture on the right shows what looks like a farm house. Looks can be deceiving. This was actually a radar station during WWII. It was made to look like a farm house on purpose. It would monitor the movements of Japanese Submarines during the war.
We left the redwood forest behind on Saturday and continued north on 101. Before long we enter Oregon and the scenery changed from tall redwoods to coastal pines.
We arrived at our destination around 3:30pm and settled in. We will be here exploring the area for the next few days. The weather is cold and it has been raining off and on today. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better and we can do that exploring!
