Day 3

Last night we stopped in Klamath, CA. Upon entering Klamath we crossed over the bridge which has 2 gold painted bears on each side. We had planned this as one of the stops on our trip because we wanted to see Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. We stayed at the Trees Motel which was right across the street and when we opened the door to our room, we were greeted by Paul and Babe, the kids thought this was so cool.

After breakfast at the cafe right next to the motel we planned to spend the morning at the "Trees of Mystery" but first we had to take pictures with two of our favorite tall tale characters.

Then it was on to the Trees of Mystery. We spent about 2 hours total hiking and observing the amazing trees and their strange formations.

Included in our admission price was a trip on the Sky Ride. It was an amazing view of the forest, way too high for my taste, but I did it.

Once at the top we arrived at a beautiful observation deck. One side was perfectly clear but the other side was covered in fog.


Then it was time to travel back down and hike some more. We went through a part of the forest that tell tale tales through pictures carved out of wood by a chainsaw.

Then after a quick stop in the gift store, where Micah bought a post card for his pen pal Jack, it was time to get on the road for the day.

In a few hours we crossed in Oregon and made it to our stop for the night Salem. We are staying in a Travel Lodge and had dinner at Denny's. Now it is time for bed so we can do the last leg of our journey tomorrow!
