Jedediah Smith Park

Yesterday we walked Tan Oak Drive (a road that goes down to the Smith River) with our friends, the Thodes, and our dogs. This area was something straight out of a Walt Disney movie. The forest floor was covered in ferns and the trees - a mixture of redwoods and deciduous trees created a wonderland that, in my case, called forth images of fairies and elves. Frank, however, was imagining the great T-Rex!











Many of the redwoods were covered in fungi, moss, vines and a variety of other life forms that in some cases resembled scary creatures! As we neared the river we could hear the rapids.

The edge of the river bottom was covered in rocks and blooming wildflowers. Take a look at the lupen!
