Typical Labor Day Weekend - COLD!

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Well, it was a typical Labor Day Weekend.  The sun did come out yesterday, but it was cold.  Mom and Dad both had sweats and jackets on - I was wearing my fur coat, of course, so I was nice and warm - especially when the sun came out and I could take my sunbath.  Mom and Dad went to a Bar-B-Que, but dogs weren't invited, however, Mom did bring  me back a hamburger patty - YUMMY!

Sunday we went for another one of Dad famous "little" rides that took us about 8 hours.  We found some Elk, and we saw one bear, but Mom couldn't get his picture - he was really fast!  We drove along the coast - that's where we saw the Elk - one herd was by Gold Bluffs and another herd was farther down the coast; then we drove through the Redwood forest and saw all the BIG trees.  We ended up in the high country away from the coast and it was really toasty!  Then it was cool and foggy when we got back to camp again.  Mom took a bunch more pictures - so here are some of them:


Bull Elk with "tinsel"


Now he's just showing off for the girls

We had to forge the stream...

...and, drive through dark forests!


We came across the road on top of the ridge.















The second herd of Elk - this is the boss!


This caused a critter jam on the highway.



This was taken this morning in the fog - they were
still in the same spot as they were Sunday.


Foggy marshes this morning


This is what the highway looked like - can you see
the headlights of the car coming at us?  (Next
to the white line on the right.)


On the way to the Trinity Alps


We are camped at the KOA at Trinity Center, CA in the Trinity Alps.  We ended up with a really crummy spot, but we are moving on tomorrow.  Dad said we are going to Quincy, CA tomorrow and then to Carson City on Thursday!
