Redwood Coast

Northern California Redwood Coast


Levi finding treasures!


This trip was one week after he fell off the garbage can (while trying to slam dunk the basketball hoop) and cut his eye open requiring several stitches, and broke his arm. One TOUGH kid!! He did great! :)

DEATH VALLEY NP: California








Another long awaited and much studied adventure. We hit it just right: Spring Break, 2009. Not too hot, perfect weather, a brilliant variety of sights and environments, light traffic, great company!

Wildrose Charcoal Kilns: Built in 1877 to produce fuel for the surrounding silver mines. They still smell smokey inside!
