Travel Log pt.2: Wood Sorrel


wood-sorel3 One of my favorite parts about the Northwest and the redwood forest is the redwood sorrel, those are the little clover looking plants that cover the forest floor out here.
 As we were driving South we found the most magical spot by the side of the road where the sorrel was in these beautiful clumps and waves. Some of these are from there, and some are from the Founder Grove.
We found that Grimes was the best soundtrack to driving though the redwoods.

It's pretty amazing how quickly the landscape changes! Mere hours after we were deep in the redwoods we were in wine country. We stayed a night at Aradan's uncles, where we were able to do laundry, play with their ridiculously cute dog, and have a beer at the Russian River Brewery. santa-rosa1 santa-rosa2
