We left Bandon around 10:00, and started down the coast toward the redwoods. We had heard of a great easy hike for the family that was getting rave reviews so our first stop was the Jedidiah Smith Visitors Center, and our visit to Stout Grove. We were in HEAVEN. The weather was great, the scenery beautiful the kids were having a great time climbing and being in nature, and there was a beautiful clear river that felt so good. We could have stayed there all day. Along the route we stopped and had a picnic and then headed down to see a few other things and forests along the way. We of course had to stop and have our picture taken by the massive Paul Bunion and Babe. The kids got a kick out of them. We also had to get a picture of driving our car through a tree. Worth it. The kids thought this was the coolest thing ever. We ended the day at Trinidad where we stopped at another Visitor Center to turn in our Junior Ranger books and get our free pin and badge saying we were all Junior Rangers. We had seen about 2 different light houses already but couldn't get close enough to get a decent picture. While driving I saw we were coming up on another lighthouse so I made Dean take the exit so we could get a picture by it. Needless to say it's like half a lighthouse. We all laughed about it, but still got our picture next to a lighthouse. Then it was onto our stop for the night before we got up the next day to head to San Fransisco.
