big trees, tiny mushrooms

Back in November we road tripped ourselves up to Eureka...we stopped along the way at a variety of places, but I think my favorite was Founder's Grove with all them loverly Redwoods! I am a forest girl at heart though I think I love the forest more than it loves me...cough, cough, wheeze, wheeze...here are a few sights from our wander....

road tripping recovery

We just returned from a ten day road trip up to Oregon, across California, into Nevada, and back home again. There was a lot of driving. A LOT of it. There was also some crafting, thrift shopping, berry picking, shell collecting, scrabble playing, museum going, camping, and a lot of wanderting and hiking.

There was also picture taking. Goodness. SO MANY PHOTOS.

So as I eke out time for editing in between family visits, daily errands and chores, and oh yes...packing for our upcoming move, I will attempt to get some posts up about our summer adventure. The above montage is a peak at day one which mostly involved seven hours of driving with a stop to refuel both dear Eleanor and ourselves. We ended our evening in Garberville, California resting our weary noggins at the Sherwood Forest Motel.

I still have far too many photos to edit and garlands to find so I can mail those out. So much to do and so so so little time to NOT panic about it all. Yikes! Have you had any fun summer adventures?
