Today was travel day.  We packed up and left Point Reyes and headed for Redcrest and the Avenue of the Giants.  Lots of pictures for just the first 1/2 day here in Redcrest CA!  The park is really pretty and located in the middle of the giant redwoods.  The park is very affordable at about $37/night for full hook ups and, for the first time, really good park internet.  The internet is really good because there is no cell service which is our normal internet source.

The avenue of the giants is truly amazing with giant trees right up against the road.  We only saw a little of it today but plan on exploring tomorrow.   The drive here was about 4.5 hours and was pretty tiring in a big rig, taking HWY 101 the entire way.   After getting settled in we took a short drive down part of the Avenue and it motivated us for tomorrow.   We then drove about 20 minutes to Fortuna and found the Eel River Brewery.  We had a great meal and really enjoyed the place.   After dinner we headed back to the coach and enjoyed movie night.
