North to Redding, California 4-9-2019

The farther North we drive the more rural the countryside. That makes me happy!

We begin to see rows and acres of different type trees that are obviously used for agriculture purposes.





I believe these are walnut trees.

These are almond trees I think.

This is an olive tree.

Saw this cool bird.

We arrive in Redding and check into our hotel for the next few days. It is very near the Sacramento River. This is the view from our room!





Have a good one!

Golden Gate Bridge 4-9

The Golden Gate from the highway on our way to drive over.

We drive to a National Park  for a great view of the bridge, bay area and looking out over the ocean.It was breathtaking. The area we were at was actually called Hawk Hill or Construction 129.

You can learn more about Hawk Hill - Golden Gate National Recreation Area here.

The island in the distance in the middle of the photo is Alcatraz.

I would have loved to take this road!

Isn't the view incredible! It was a bit windy too!

We met much friendlier people who were very willing to take our picture.

It was hard to leave but we had a lot of miles to cover.

Going back across the Golden Gate Bridge.

Going back across the Bay Bridge we are on the lower deck. Now that feels weird!

It was nice seeing you San Francisco but its time to go North.

Have a good one!
