This is the Battery Point Lighthouse. I took this shot from our campsite in Crescent City, California. Built in 1856, it held it's ground against seismic waves from the 1964 Alaska earthquake, which claimed 11 lives in Crescent City and wiped out 29 blocks of commercial and residential structures. It is manned with a keeper and curator and can be accessed by foot on low tide. At high tide, Battery Point becomes an island.
We spotted this pack of seals on Crescent Beach, sunning and barking and fighting each other for position on the dock.
Of course, we are right on the Pacific Ocean coast. It's a peaceful and beautiful ocean unlike the Atlantic Ocean we are familiar with in Florida.
This was the first big Redwood we ran across. We don't know the dimensions, but it was
big!
Bob's outstretched arms is 5 feet, so you can see how big the tree is.
This huge tree is hollow, but still very alive.
This is the biggest tree we saw today. It is 304 feet tall, 21.6 feet in diameter, 68 feet circumference and estimated to be 1500 years old.
This tree was big enough to drive your car through. It's still very alive, too.
