Redwood National Park
Northern
California (3/6/00)
Once again on
the road the family enjoyed many beautiful sights authored by God the
Creator.
While driving
to the Redwood National Park, the road lead us along the Smith River. The
water was beautiful with it's crystal clear blue color. It was amazing to
see the beautiful, clean looking water reflecting the blue sky. The children were
also surprised they
could see the rocks on the river's bottom.
While driving,
we enjoyed many brief stops within the park. Near the end of the day we
stopped at Lady Bird Johnson Trail. On this one mile hike we saw many
amazingly tall trees and the shrubs that inhabited the forest floor. A
plaque was placed at the location where in 1968 Lady Bird Johnson participated
in the ceremony dedicating the land officially as a National Park.
We ended our
day by eating at the the Samoa Cookhouse. This establishment began in 1900
serving the loggers who worked for the Hammond Lumber Company. This is the
last surviving cookhouse in the West. It continues to serve it's customers
traditional lumber camp style foods in a large room that has several rows
of tables. The menu is the same for all and is served in a family style
fashion. There are photos of the cookhouse along with Redwood Forest pictures on our Photo Album pages.
