October 21

There's not much of anything to post today.  Yesterday was a travel day even though we didn't get very far.  I had some work done on the truck and that took half the day.

I had noticed a lot of black brake pad dust on the front left wheel so I had the brakes checked and the front pads were pretty thin.  Also, a ball joint was loose.  Those are both fixed and the front end aligned so we're ready to go.

We left camp  in the Redwoods about 1:30 and drove only as far as Trinidad, Ca close to the beach.  We'll turn east here.  We got here about 4:00 and then walked around on the beach for a couple of hours.  I guess it's foggy here a lot.  I mentioned that in the post yesterday that it's good for the trees.  It was foggy on the beach, but not dense.  We could still see the sunset.  The ocean is cold here and that's the source of fog.  I may have mentioned that.

Our next planned stop is Lassen Volcanic National Park.  I don't know anything about it really but it's on the way.  I'll have more to say about it and some pictures later.
