Just off Freeway 101, a misnomer in most areas of Humboldt State redwood park, is Redcrest, CA. It's along an amazing corridor of giant redwood trees called Avenue Of The Giants where we spent one night. It's home to the Immortal Tree (see pic below and read description).
After winding through the gentle giant Redwoods and Pacific coastline near Eureka we arrived in Crescent City, our last stop in CA before entering coastal Oregon. Our amazing base camp was in a grassy opening surrounded by Redwoods, one of the nicest secluded camping spots we have enjoyed. On the coast of Crescent City is the Battery Lighthouse and Castle Rock. Also a picture from the 2011Tsunami that battered the harbor.
