We managed to get a 3 day camping trip this time so it was off to the California Redwoods. Our first night was at Pass Creek county park campground just south of Eugene. Nothing special to report with this site other than it was conveniently located right off HWY 5 and only $20. We then met up with our friends and visited the Oregon caves. The drive took us up 4000 ft on some very steep and windy roads and we took a 90 minute guided tour of the caves. The temperature in the cave is an almost constant 44 degrees year round, quite amazing!

We were staying at our friends tent site in Patricks Point State Park. The site was very spacious and private. Somebody special was celebrating her birthday so we cooked up some nice steaks on the grill. Rogue beer and Fireball whiskey to follow

The next day took us about 80 miles south to see the Redwoods. Our first stop I was able to drive through a huge tree

As you can see it was a very tight fit and here is the "badge of honor"

Here is the whole camping group

This is the Founders Tree and the tallest that we saw on our trip at 346 feet tall

Then it was back to Patricks Point for our second night of cooking - the roast chicken was delicious!

Some excellent night shots of the LED lighting

The site had a metal "Bear Box" but some extra food was stored in a cooler outside which was raided by a raccoon, skunk and we even think a bear! Patrick's Point was a very pretty park but was cool and had fog nearly our entire stay.

We left early so we could visit Fern Canyon and of course had to visit good old Paul Bunyan

We logged well over 1,000 miles in 3 days with a full camper averaging just over 17MPG
