FRIDAY, 24th JUNE.
Before leaving Crescent City this morning, we visited the Battery Point Lighthouse and Museum. We were given a guided tour by the volunteer caretaker but weren't able to view the light-tower as there was an electrical problem which was being repaired at the time. It was an interesting tour and for $3 each, value for money.
Due to roadworks being carried out, it was slow going to Klammath, 16 miles down the road. We stopped a couple of times to admire the coastal view (no rain today, only sunshine) and on arrival at Klammath, joined the queue to the Trees of Mystery. There were only about 50 people ahead of us, but we waited in the queue for about 45 minutes....there was little system involved, no tickets but stamps on hands, no signs outlining procedure so the ticket seller had to go through the whole spiel with every customer, very amateurish we thought. When we finally had our tickets, or rather our stamped hands, we went through to the park. A walk up a winding path took us through the giant redwood trees and to a cable car which took us higher into the forest..excellent!
After a couple of hours we were on our way again, making a few stops along the coast, enjoying the views and the sunshine. An easy, relaxing day..
