We spent a restful night at The Headlands Inn B&B in their “Hideaway” room. It was a foggy morning in Mendocino when we left at about 10:00. The thermometer read 54 degrees.

Left Eureka at 9:30 AM. Of course it was cloudy and overcast and a cool 55 degrees. Our plan was to drive south along the famous Avenue of the Giants: giant old redwood trees that is.

Crescent City, California was a commercial city whose economy is based on logging and fishing. We spent a quiet night at the Lighthouse Inn and were ready to roll down Route 101 in the morning. It was foggy and overcast and cool.

I heard the sound of the sea all the night long: the blowing wind and the waves crashing on the rocks. In the morning the sea gulls were squawking at each other. The tide had gone out and the sun was shining in Bandon, Oregon!
