A short drive to the Avenue of the Giants was how we started this day. Amazement was to be had by all as we rolled through these big magnificent trees. We stopped to look around and to take a small hike. Bigfoot was on my mind and I was hopeful to see this creature. Well I have some bad news for all. No Bigfoot was spotted by any of our party. Oh well, maybe another time. Maybe when you least expect it. Avenue of the Giants is a road that parallels HWY 101. Driving through and taking a short hike here was cool.
Our next stop was Sheltor Cove. The road to get to Sheltor Cove is only about 20 miles from Redway, but it isn't very good. It is paved, but it has a lot of twists, turns, ups, downs, holes, etc. When we made it to our destination the brakes where a little hot, so it was definitely time to stop and check out the area. We hit the bathroom and then walked down to the rocky beach to see the sea life. We found crabs, tiny fish, snails, a few anemone, then we saw the best part. Michelle and Sora were looking at Hermit crabs and snails and Nakai and I saw something that we all needed to get a closer look at just a very short distance away. Nakai and I hurried over to them and told them to follow us because we had something that they had to see. We walked over and then up a few rocks to see about 60 or 70Seals lounging on the incoming tide. A few were the water, but the majority were just chillin' on the rocks. Sora was SO excited about it. She was amazed, excited, in love, awestruck, etc. She wanted to get really close to them, but we cautioned her that we didn't want to stress/freak them out and that it is good to see them from a short distance away and let them do their own thing. It was really cool.
