We loafed our way up the coast thru San Jose,  San Francisco, the Coastal Redwoods,  and up to the Oregon coast.

At one spot along the northern California coast above Eureka, there are herds of Elk and we were able to see one by the road.   You can see them laying in the grasses if you look carefully beyond the 1 walking by

There are many CCC project bridges,  built in the 30s, all along the Oregon coast. 

Much of the coast was covered in clouds but our drive was lovely
