28th May

Bright and sunny outside, if a little chilly (not too chilly though!) and we went to the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park for a long, long walk up to Lookout Point, where, in the far distance we could see Monterey and the sea.
It has been decided that we aren't going to Yosemite, due to the length of drive and the time we have left, but the Redwood State Park is just magnificent and some of the trees are almost 2,000 years old.There is no end to the fabulous wilderness here. I'm just knocked out by it all. I can't say the same for the towns although we went into Santa Cruz in the afternoon and it is a lovely little town with a proper town feel to it. Unlike almost every other 'town' we've been too. It's also very 'hippy' still. More so I think that San Francisco, although I didn't really spend enought time there to tell for sure.
