AVENUE OF THE GIANTS


Finally, back into the trees and rain that we know and love. We have been on this road so many times and always return on our way home. We stayed alongside the Eel river last night as it rained like I had not seen in months. I felt my skin suck up the moisture. As we left our campsite and headed up into the Redwoods, we traveled alongside the Eel River which now looked like the color of a foamy latte. We stopped at a grove and hiked(Steve) and hobbled(Bonnie) into the forest to hug these behemoths. Stepping on the ground was like walking on the thickest and softest carpet you have ever seen. Hundreds of years of redwoods depositing their needles to comfort my sprained ankle. I am home!
