On the Road-Northern CA

Wed. August 5. After a wonderful breakfast at the Benbow Inn, we drove North along the touted "Avenue of the giants" of Redwood Trees. The trees are big but on the whole, we would not missed much if we just stayed on 101. We made our way to the "Victorian Town" of Ferndale, which we found quite boring. David and I kept checking our watches in anticipation of the wine and cheese hour and the time kept being the same time. They do have a Memorial Day Weekend race in which local sculptors solder together vehicles that look like some animal or dragon and put some bicycle type thing inside to allow the pedal power to drive the vehicle. They have a museum of some of the winners.

The wine and cheese hour finally did come and we people from our home town, i.e. Philadelphia and some Family Law attorney who had stories to tell.
