A good ride today, although it was chilly and foggy again. We passed Humbolt Lagoons State Park.

There was supposed to be a herd of Elk near this RV park, but we didn\’t see any.

We stopped in Orick for a cup of hot chocolate and a snack, a very run-down Town.

We opted not to \’call\’ these windmills (17).

The morning’s ride took us through the Robert Drury State Park. It was very pretty with redwoods again and we saw a few Elk.

The Robert Drury State Park is very similar to the Avenue of the Giants except it doesn’t have the roadside attractions and there is much less traffic.

It was a beautiful ride, although it was cool and foggy as we climbed through the forest.

We had decided that we were going to spring for another motel stay.

The amazing thing was as we came over the last hill the sun came out and there was blue sky, what a contrast. There was a difference of 10 degrees.

We were going to stay in Klamath but the motel was over $80.00.

We decided once again to carry on, we were told that there was another motel called Trees Inn and it was cheaper. We did have a good cheap lunch of chicken ceasar wraps, before heading down the road again.

Although the sun had come out we decided to stay at the motel, because it was going to be a cool night (any excuse). It was $70.00 and had recently been renovated. Across the road from the motel was a great museum with the largest collection of Indian artifacts.

Apparently this giant lumberjack (Paul Bunyan) waves his hand and talks.  They have someone in the store, watching as kids climb on him, and he speaks and tells them to get of his feet.  He was being renovated, while we were there, as a branch had come of a tree and snapped his arm off.

Although the motel was really nice, the internet was very slow and I was unable to connect and update the blog.

It was cool to watch two swallows make a nest.  The owners tried to prevent them building their nest by putting small nails up.  They used them as supports for the nest.

Tomorrow is going to be a very short ride to Crescent City, hopefully the internet at the church will be good.
