Prioritized Daily Task

Muir Woods State Park, Redwoods

Drive up Highway 1 in California along the coast 

Point Arena Light House

Motel 6, Fort Bragg, CA

We had prayer, packed the car/SUV, checked out of the lodge, and stopped on the way to Muir Woods State Park at a pharmacy to get some toothpaste, etc., and have breakfast at a small local cafe.  It is a good thing we made reservations for parking or we would not have been able to enter the park.  We hiked the Redwood Creek Trail (2 miles).  These Redwoods are different from the Giant Sequoias that are further inland.  (Coast Redwood, 379 feet high, lives for 2,000 years, and its diameter at chest height is 22 feet, and its bark is 12 inches thick, while the Giant Sequoia height is 311 feet, it lives for 3,200 years, its diameter at chest height is 40 feet, and its bark is 31 inches thick) The tallest Redwood in Muir Woods is 258 feet, about the height of a 23 story building.  After leaving the park we drove up the coast to our motel in Fort Braggs stopping to see and take pictures at Point Arena Light House.  We got to Fort Braggs just before the sunset.  We checked in and went grocery shopping.  I have a chest cold similar to Debbie's that she has had for months.  We had planned to go up the coast to Organ before cutting back toward home in Lehi, but now we are changing plans to turn east and get home before Friday AM.  We had prayer together and Debbie and I had prayer before going to bed.
