Up and out for breakfast at the pancake house egg, bacon, and pancakes with maple syrup. All filled out it’s down the Redwood highway with some photos by the ocean making our way to California, you have to stop at the border as you are not allowed to bring in any fruit in. Not that it mattered, as all the guard wanted to do was look at the Minis.
Now it’s real Redwood country with some really big trees down the side of the road we drive into Myrtle Creek Nat. Park to see really big redwoods now the hunger is getting to us dinner is in a little diner, tea and strawberries for me.
A short drive down the road, is the Trees of Mystery Park, the biggest man in the world Paul Bunyan tries to step on the Moke, a walk round the park we see the biggest in the world of what ever you can think of in a redwood park. (That’s the American World) Finishing the walk there is a cable car ride to the summit of the mountain with the biggest fog in the world so you could hardly see anything. Another big tree you can drive through may be the biggest drive through tree in the world. Nearing the end of our drive for today we come to EUREKA and we have made it to the Super 8 motel, time to relax with a nice meal in town then to bed.

Another great day on the road, with lots of stops along the way for pictures of the Minis by the coast as well and a trip into the redwood trees. Terry is doing fantastic in the 998 automatic, keeping up and even passing us once and a while. Gassing up was a little better today as we were not even close to being on empty, except the Moke, which seems to be constantly on E. The cars are running great, and we seem to be able to cruise easily at 65 or so, and keeping up to 55 or 60 going up hill. We get some strange looks as 4 Minis fly up hills passing the slower traffic in the right hand lanes. So another 250 miles clocked off on the trip to Irvine..we’re getting closer…Mike
