Thursday September 27 in California

We had breakfast in our room at the STONEGATE VILLA in South Leggett,

using groceries I purchased yesterday in Fort Bragg.  We decided to go to the Drive Thru Tree attraction but wanted to explore  Leggett before going.  So we went to the Leggett Valley Mercantile

MaryAnn  purchased a t shirt and shopped while I took pictures of some abandoned places in S. Leggett.

We  headed out to Chandelier Drive-Thru Tree Park in Leggett, and we each paid ten dollars to get in.  I  I walked through so I could take pictures of MA driving through.  I left a rock beneath a sign.

Then we  headed to the AVENUE OF THE GIANTS.  It is so beautiful.  We stopped and had a picnic lunch of crackers and cheese, grapes, etc.  Spent some time walking around amid the huge trees and taking pictures.

Stopped to look for geocache in Redcrest but we had NO LUCK, but Mary Anne enjoyed a gift shop
and I took pictures of some abandoned spots like this phone booth which I THOUGHT held the geocache.

Then weheaded north towards Klamath, stopping in Eureka to get gas.

We arrived at the Thomas H. Kuchel Visitors Center

at the  southern end of the Redwoods National and State Parks  and watched a short film, and MA bought souvenirs and we used the rest room, and then drove north through the park towards  our lodging in Klamath.   We stopped here and walked the trail for a bit and explored this

beautiful grove of huge trees. 

It was definitely the highlight of the day!!!!!!

We made it to Klameth and checked in to the RAVENWOOD MOTEL (a mom and pop type motel)

and then went for supper in the ABELONE GRILL in  the  casino next door.  It was a really good  meal...............I had the pulled pork sandwich.

I asked around for info about supermarkets and found out they do not have any here, but there is a mini mart next to the gas station that is also next door (but on the other side)of our motel.

We went back to room around eight p.m.
