Roadtrip to Redwood

we had this roadtrip during memorial weekend. The weather forecast had warnned us that it's not going to be sunny, but Eddie will have to be a mentor for new intern duing summer, this weekend might be the only weekend that he could take several days off and take a almost week-long vacation.

So we decided to go anyways. or Eddie decided to go anyways, and i just agreed. Bcoz the weather condition, we decided to go south, figuring it might give us a better chance to get nice weather, but Nah, we're wrong, it has been raining for three days until i got so pissed of camping in the rain, it finally stopped.

Yes, it is commonly said that girls don't like camping in the rain, especially Lizzie who might enjoy shopping more than camping. And, particularly, camping in that crappy california redwood state park campsite. Our site was facing north (i guess, since we've never seen the sunshine), so the moist ground has a hard time to dry out, and everything remains cold and humid. Our second day camping on that site, i found a shit on the table, yes, what a shit, looks like from some dogs, we guess, since it's too small for human being and bears. and Eddie batted away a little mouse, and i found a dead mouse body the next morning but Eddie doesn't think it's the one he batted away. After we left that campsite and headed home, we stopped by a riverside to take some photos, meanwhile i stepped on a shit, pretty moist shit and smelled soooooo bad. luckily we were in a riverside, so i washed it in the river, and felt a bit sorry for others who try to swim in the river. But I was in downstream though.

After all these we came up with one conclusion, CA is crappy. and they charged more for one campsite with less services provided than in WA & OR.

I wrote very long journals in chinese talking about our camping story, so i am kinda tired of talking it again here in english. forgive me, and just ask me about them if any of you is interested.

Btw, campsites in OR are terrific, at least the one we went to (Harris Beach on highway101 along the coast near CA border) was so nice and clean with wireless internet.
