Day 23 Thurs July 22rd: Redwood National Park, CA to Crater Lake National Park, OR

Being in the presence of the tallest living things on the planet is humbling to say the least. You and ten of your buddies could not even come close to giving any of these monsters a full circle hug. Most of the sunlight is filtered in through the canopy of leaves, which is an easy hundred feet above. This cathedral of sight and smells takes you over, humbling you to a feeling of closeness with your surroundings that cannot be duplicated.

Sorry, I got caught up in the granola state of mind. Anyways, we carried on to Crater Lake to camp for the night. Second only to the Everglades, this place had the most intense mosquito experience I’ve ever had.

  1. Matt isn't that section of 101 the best. The cliffs into the sea... love it.
