From Titans to Whiskeytown

We left Thursday around 11 to go on a short trip. First we went to Jedediah Smith Park to look for the Grove of the Titans.

 Brad found Chesty Puller!




Then I found El Viejo! Then we bushwhacked behind this huge tree to find the others.

Brad had to check his information to see which tree was which. It was really exciting to go on this special "treasure hunt" through the redwoods.

 That night we stayed in Medford. Friday morning we got up, did some shopping and headed down I-5 toward Shasta.

Then we made a detour to go see some waterfalls.

Then we drove to Burney Falls


Then we drove the hour into Redding. We stopped at the Sundial Bridge first.


 Then we got some sushi, DQ and checked into our room at Red Lion. Here is the self proclaimed "Tiny Princess." We watched The Hobbit, and went to sleep.


Saturday we woke up and headed out to Whiskeytown Dam.


We stopped about an hour later to take a break and enjoyed one of the many creeks running through the mountains.
