Thanksgiving Weekend

Friday in Fort Bragg we explored glass beach. If you can believe it, until the 60's this beach was dump! They just unloaded the trash and let it be washed away. That's not natural sand pebbles in the photo, that's tumbled glass from the trash. When you look closely at the rock you'll find spark plugs, metal, pottery and part of shoes to name a few things embedded in the rock with sea life growing in and around it.

Saturday we drove up to the Avenue of the Giants where you can see old growth redwoods trees. The drive up was along Highway 1 and it was just beautiful though long. The road was not made for RV's. We explored the Founders Grove where some of the oldest trees are. Unfortunatly, most of my picutes are too dark and hard to make out because it's so shady on the forest floor a flash can't provide enough light. The photo at top of all of us was taken at the root end of a fallen tree. It was the oldest one in the grove and it fell in 1991 if I rember right. You can't even see the whole root ball in the photo!
