Back to the coast
... the Carson Mansion. It was built in 1885 for a lumber baron at a cost of $80,000 and sold in 1950 to the men-only Ingomar Club for $35,000. Built in the Victorian style, it is reputed to be the most photographed Victorian in America. So of course we had to take a picture of it too.
Then it was back to the Pacific Coast Highway and then the Avenue of the Giants. The Avenue is a 31 mile (50 km) long road through a redwood forest, listed as one of America's ...
Dum Dum Tom Tom
Coos bay wasn't too much fun as we couldn't do any sand-boarding and to be honest there was nothing else to do. The only advantage of this town was that there was cheap fuel and we filled up the car. We set off for Mendocino this morning and our first stop was at Bandon Wildlife Park. The reason we stopped here was we read that we could pet baby tigers and other animals. The lady at the counter said that we could pet a cougar cub and if we ...

We tried a new Thai restaurant and stopped for cupcakes at the Bi-Rite creamery (they were out of salted caramel, my favorite, but the chocolate thing I got instead was just fine) on our walk home.
Monday morning we drove across ...
Camping ved stillehavet
... I parken var der også en skyline, som vel egentlig bare var en aflagt skilift (kabine) fra Italien, som i øvrigt havde købt den brugt fra Østrig, så malingen kunne ikke dække alt rust, men en flyvetur hen over trætoppene fik vi, og vores "fantastiske" udsigt derfra blev blokeret af pæn meget tåge....
