After we left Middlegate we arrived in California finally. We keep meeting up with some of the same motorcycle guys along the way. The interesting part is we end up staying at the same hotels. I was walking across the parking lot and some guy on a bike yelled at me "hey where you been?" I didn't know what he was talking about. Then when we got into the hotel he was the one we saw back in Nevada at another gas stop. Jan and Skip always remember them because of their bikes, I have to ask, "who was that?" We toured the Redwoods most all day and came back to the hotel and rested. The Redwoods are amazingly tall and there are lots of them. The forest makes you feel really small, you look up and can barely see the sunlight. Jan said it reminds him of Ferngully, girls you know exactly what he's talking about.
