First Stop: Leggetts, CA
Friday we woke up in Ukiah and after a scrumptious breakfast at the famous Samoa Cookhouse, we set out for our next stopping point in Eureka, California. It was only a 5 hour drive up the 101 but we made a few stops along the way.
We were going to just stop at a gas station for a pee stop but instead I saw a sign that said Leggetts was the "Home of the Drive-Thru Tree" - who wouldn't want to drive through a big redwood tree? I took some more pictures on our way to see the tree and around the area. Unfortunately, the "drive-thru" part was created when cars were much smaller and narrower, so Lee's truck and trailer with quads and motorcyle were too big to drive through. But we did get out and walk through and take a bunch of pictures.
Even this mini-van didn't look like it was going to make it through...
Lee's truck definitely wouldn't make it...so we got out and took our picture in it instead!!!!
