(the last of Day 3)
In real estate terms, this place is "cozy". I took a teeny tiny spiral staircase to get to the 2nd floor.
Back on the road...a storm is reaching the coast. We arrive in Fortuna, California, just before the downpour. This particular storm made news for days as it caused havoc all across the country.

Day 3 Cont'd:
Further down the road is another drive-thru tree. Actually, it is the solid mass of the whole redwoods that take the breath away, but my photos always fall short of capturing their superior nature.
Part of our drive was along the route described in this video:
