Day 10

Fort Bragg, California, to Brookings, Oregon. 210 miles.
OLIVIA: short day with lots of weird things on the road, in and out of cell reception and lots of big trees. All in all it was an ok day, except for the fact that my dad has become sick, and so we had to end very early today (around like 4) because he didn't feel good. plus we were in Cali so I couldn't drive. Tomorrow, i have a feeling i'm driving the whole day possibly. anyway ya. Lots of big trees and I'm still trying to get over what I had and not get what he has... Goodnight Andrew. SCOTT: Asleep.. and sick and just not feeling good. Awake now. Blasted through the last of the winding road this morning. stopped to see the one-room tree house, the one-log house, the world famous drive-through tree (they wanted $5 to drive through, so instead we drove on). about 20 miles down the road there was another world famous drive-through tree. drove along the avenue of the giants, giant redwoods. huge. and no trip along the coast is complete without a stop at the trees of mystery. there's no indication anywhere why they're called that. and it seemed there was a shop selling chainsaw carvings every couple of miles along the road. the scenery changed today as well, to big trees and fog rolling up the hills and spreading inland. cooler too.
Tomorrow: Brookings to maybe Newport, Oregon...
