This is one of the only pictures of the two of us, taken on our honeymoon. I guess you aren't supposed to be around other people who could be possible photographer's, though, are you? We went to Northern Oregon, across the Columbia River gorge, to the coast, then south to the California Redwoods, then home via Napa Valley. We camped all along the way, except for two nights on the Oregon coast somewhere, we stayed in a condo. It was such a relaxing time. I have misplaced a lot of the photos, on a different computer, but here are a few I do have.
This one seems appropriate! This was taken from the inside of a two story play house, carved out of a giant redwood.
We have all seen the pictures, and heard the stories, but until you are standing amongst them, you have no clue as to how magnificent they really are. The redwoods are a magical place to visit.
We stayed at a campground on the beach, in the Redwoods. We enjoyed a beautiful hike through the trees...watching for bears, the bear lockers at the campground had me frightened. Let alone the ranger telling us that "if you leave your cooler in your car, be sure to cover it up with a blanket...the bears around here will break your window to get to your cooler, if they can see it." But sleeping in a tent is a good idea? Hmmm....
It was also Elk mating season, and on all the radio stations and signs, there were warnings to "not approach the Elk". But these guys were hanging out right next to the bathrooms. I guess it was good that they seemed to know the difference between being approached, and someone who just needs "to go".
When I get my hands on the other photo's from our honeymoon, I will post them!
