Pacific Coast - San Francisco - Redwood Forest -Oregon

 

May 27 - May 31

As we had north from Monterey Bay, CA we see lots of campers parked beside the highway - people are camping just beside the beach. Looks like it is first come first serve.

We see several lighthouses along the way.  This one was beside a  motel

 

We thought we needed to go to San Francisco to see the seals, but there were several seal viewing spots before we got to SF.  So we stopped to find a bunch of seals sunning on the beach...

We spent a few days in San Francisco, driving the hills was interesting in the Vette.  We thought we wanted to drive the curvy, hilly road but didn't need to once we drove around town,  

 

 

 

We spent time at San Francisco Pier 59 and saw more seals............ They are quite interesting to watch.





We spent time at the Golden Gate Bridge Park observing how this bridge was built and traveled over it the next day on our way north.

We drove through another redwood tree park and took the car through this redwood tree.  It is 300 ft call and 2400 years old!  It was on earth with Jesus was....... 

The Sonoma area grape vineyards are everywhere you can look. 

 

As we traveled up the Oregon Coast, the view is even prettier.  While there are rocks visable in the water, the water is really blue and the beaches seem to be really the best we have seen.

Our time on the Pacific beaches is over - but is was everything we expected and more.  The weather was warm enough to have the top down and enjoy the California sun..... Next - Washington State.
