From Portland to Crescent City

After leaving Portland we drove to Crescent City. We got there in the evening and almost immediately as we came down into the area we entered a dense fog. We cold hardly tell that the ocean was right out our window. The only clue was the fog horn sounding every 30 seconds or so along with the barking seals. Even in the morning we couldn't quite see the shore. As we drove the next day toward the Redwood Forest we were in and out of the fog all day. The man at the hotel told us that the fog was what really made the Redwood Forest what it is today. It was beautiful to see the light coming through the trees and the fog. Eventually, we even got a few glimpses of the ocean we were driving right next to.
