After the Vortex we stopped at a Walmart and bought a second DVD player for the bedroom. Now the boys can watch movies while laying on our bed instead of having to look sideways at the TV in the front. Connor also exchanged a few birthday gifts and got 2 new Lego Ninjago sets. He's my Lego maniac. We bought some child safety latches to stop the large drawers under the bench seats from coming open while we're driving around corners.
Trees of Mystery is a park and tourist attraction near the coastal town of Klamath, California. It features interpretive trails through Giant Redwoods and a number of unusual tree formations.
Its Trail of Tall Tales displays some 50 chainsaw sculptures and carvings illustrating stories of legendary logger Paul Bunyan and his crew.
Trees of Mystery is best known for its 49-foot statue of Paul Bunyan and 35-foot statue of Bunyan's companion Babe the Blue Ox.
The Cathedral Tree, consisting of nine trees growing in a semicircle out of one root structure, often used as a site for weddings.
The Brotherhood Tree, so named for its massive size of 19 feet in diameter and 297 feet in height.
The Candelabra Tree, formed by a fallen tree with younger trees sprouting from it.
The Elephant Tree, resembling an elephant's trunk, with multiple limbs branching from its base.
In 2001, an aerial tramway was installed called the Skytrail. It takes guests on a 1/3-mile ride through the forest, allowing them to see parts of the attraction from a different point of view. It culminates at an observation deck where the Pacific Ocean is visible above the surrounding forest.
We walked/hiked the trail at Trees of Mystery and took the Gondola ride to the top. We wanted to hike back down from the top, but the trail is really steep and we were warned that most adults have trouble with the trail and fall... so we decided not to try it with kids. Then we headed to Mad River Rapids RV park for the night. Piper got her bath, the boys went swimming, we all soaked in the hot tub and we got showers.
