I prefer the redwoods 40 miles north to the redwoods 40 miles to the south (Weott). Mostly because there is no poison oak to the north! but the redwoods on the flood plains along the Eel River are beautiful.
When will you be heading up this way?

Probably the last weekend of October. In the summer I usually stay at tge Hidden Springs Campground - but this time it will have to be the Burlington.
I will probably be leaving Walnut Creek early Friday morning and should arrive around 1:00 PM in the afternoon. Will stay through lunch time Sunday before heading back.
You are right about the poison oak - its all over the place
as well as the mosquitoes. I was eaten alive the last afternoon I was there. I was OK setting up the 4x5 and tripod and had made about three shots when they decided I was a free meal - but that goes with the territory.
