I went camping in Jedediah State Park this weekend. It's another great get away, only 2 hrs from home. It's near the coast and the Smith River runs through it. The weather was a lot warmer than last weekend so we got to swim in the river after mountain biking. It was soooo nice! The river is incredibly clear, deep and mellow. It was like being in a fresh water pool - it was refreshing since it was hot and muggy for the mountain biking portion of the day. It was amazing to be in the red woods, even though the trail was only ok. There was a section of it that was gravel - kind of strange. All I could think was how much work i must have been to haul all that gravel in and how it made the trail feel like a path in a city park. lame.
The trees are HUGE! We went for a walk along this one.
The light was amazing for our decent. I had fun playing with the different settings on my camera. The B&W were nice, but the sepia tones were much better, in my opinion. Not that I know a thing about photography though.
This seasonal bridge provides access to Stout Grove from the campground. It looks rickedy, but in fact, it seemed to be fairly stable. We couldn't ride our bikes in there, but we figured that the short walk was much better and more scenic alternative than the 4 miles of scarey, shoulderless road.
