7/4/2012 – Redwood campsite

Driving through northern California on the 101 is mesmerizing. So many giants all around and the fog gives them an ominous backdrop.
I got a campsite in Humboldt State Park. My initial goal was Redwood National Park but it was still 2 hours away and the sun was going down, so I decided to take my chances. Totally worth it.
$35 for a primitive site! I said to the ranger, “Wow, it’s expensive here!” He said, “Yeah, but these sites are badass!” Haha, I couldn’t argue with that!
This view is from Redwood National Park, but it was too foggy to see anything.
