It turns out we were a little...misguided in our assumption that we'd be camping in Redwood National Forest. The reservation that we made was actually for Mendocino Lake, which housed absolutely no redwoods in the vicinity (that we managed to see). However, the campsite was very cheap and the weather was beautiful. It was the first night of camping that we weren't freezing in our sleeping bags. It was even nice enough for us to go swimming in the lake! Of course, a couple of chicken fights were necessary. Might I add that Sophie and I (Kristen) triumphed over Katie and Julia. Triumphed.
After our swimming adventure, we journeyed to the incredibly peaceful Muir Woods. We went on a beautiful hike through the woods with the massive redwoods. Then, after a reasonably short drive, we headed to Sophie's aunt's house for dinner (in which was one of the most fantastic private baseball collections that we have ever seen...from an autographed Babe Ruth ball to a book of matches from Al Schacht (a former player and author/restaurant owner)). We feasted on delicious sandwiches for dinner and homemade ice cream sandwiches for dessert. We then continued our trek south to San Francisco! More details (and pictures) to come soon...
