Since Sequoia

After Sequoia Nat. Park we headed up to Yosemity. The view was great but I think it was more for hikers and rock climbers than just driving thru. We then went to Carmel by the sea just south of San Francisco. We spent the night in Salinas.  In the morning we headed north thru San Francisco and across the Golden Gate bridge.  From there we moved over to the coast and followed hwy.1. We spent the night at a hotel called TimberCove. It was right on the ocean we had a little rain but the view was fantastic. From there we continued up the coast to Arcata and spent the night. On the way we passed many of the giant redwoods, they were amazing. After Arcata we drove thru Redwood Nat. Park and on into Oregon. The road up the coast was one fantastic view after another. On the way we passed herds of Rosevelt Elks just laying in a field.  They let us drive right up to them and take pictures.  We spent the night at a great hotel in Newport Oregon. We were on the side of a cliff and on the 4th floor which gave us a great view of the beach and ocean.   The next morning in was raining so we headed inland on our way to Seattle Washington.  As luck would have it the sky cleared and we had good weather all the way in.  On Sat. we went to the Space needle in downtown Seattle and then to the Zoo. That evening we had dinner with an old friend of mine from Gtmo.  Today we went to a Reformed Episcopal Church which was listed in our church directory.  The service was from the 1928 prayer book but was enjoyable.  This afternoon we are just resting for the next leg of our journey.  In the morning we will head to Missoula Montana crossing the top of Idaho.  It's a long drive but the next day we want to be in Yellowstone early.  We have reservations at a lodge in the park.  We are finally turning back east and headed toward home.  Wish us luck with the weather.  It looks like snow at Yellowstone and COLD.
Will try and post pictures later.
