Lady Bird Johnson Grove & Shasta River

Our last stop in the Redwoods was Lady Bird Johnson Grove.  We borrowed a pamphlet and read about the various markers.

We were coming to the end of the hike when I commented that we had not seen much wildlife.  Not a minute later, a family we had passed noticed a salamander and pointed it out to us.  We would have walked right past it otherwise.

That afternoon we had a lengthy drive to Redding.  Our route basically followed the Shasta River, which is quite pretty.  There were a lot of purplish trees that perfectly matched my shirt (as seen on the left of this picture).  We passed through impossibly small towns which prompted D and I to imagine what it would be like to live there.  Conclusion: we couldn’t!
