redwoods and coast

Our impromptu road trip took us south, leaving the rainy forest and following the path of the sun. The clear cutting around the callahans was ominous...


We made our way to the coast via Redwood National Forest - it was an amazing drive
The scale of the redwoods is impressive - and in the context of an expansive national forest, breathtaking.








We arrived in the evening at Lost Rocks in NOCAL stoked to boulder on the beach! We slept on the cliff overlooking the ocean. The neighboring forest was picturesque and truly awe inspiring.

Part of the beach is privately owned by a native american tribe.



the rock was solid, sticky even with light mist falling on us and of beautiful form.

the sand made for a natural crash pad.


my first time bouldering in cali!

Michael took these - sedum like succulents were growing all over the boulders.


We paid Paul Bunyan and his giant blue (balled) ox a visit on our way back...
stellar.... and then....
