We again awoke to high fog in the tall trees but the sun was on its way! We talked with some more friends and then decided to go check out Armstrong Redwoods SNR. It is a grove of Redwoods near to Guerneville. I was surprised how small the parking lot was and it was packed! We had to park down the road a bit. We started out on the trails and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The trails were clear, soft and the whole area was very lush.
The ground was covered in most places with a clover like plant called Redwood Sorrel. Well, I thought it was clover and started, naturally, looking for a 4 leaf clover. I looked up the odds of finding one (1:20000) and thought in this area it was pretty good. We were heading down one of the trails and I got ahead of Roxie so I sat down. I was constantly looking for one so I looked next to where I was sitting and saw this:
4 leaves!
Here is a picture of Roxie taking a short break:
We only had our cell phones so that is what we are taking these pictures with.
After the walking/hiking, it was time for lunch. I checked out Yelp and found boon. We thought we would try it. Not this was not the type of food we normally eat. This was from some type of Food Network show, a bit foreign to us. So we ordered their cheeseburger and truffle fries. Both were excellent! The food there is recommended.
On our way to the park we saw a shop that had a vintage Airstream sticking out of the door. We went back to look and got a thorough tour of the works in progress and there is a lot of work. The name is Russian River Vintage Trailers if you are interested.
What do you do when you get back to your trailer after a busy, semi-strenuous day? You take a nap. That is what we did until Bob knocked on the door and invited us to dinner at 5:30. We readily agreed and our new friends Ken and Shannon joined us also. We ate, talked, laughed and froze our BUTTS off! We would have liked to talk more but the blood circulation forced a retirement to our warm trailers. Sleep came soon and then day 6!
