Time to head home after a couple of days up North in the redwoods. It was a short trip, too short really, but I had things I needed to do back home for the weekend.

The fog had rolled in over the night. That made things a lot more interesting for taking pictures. I don't think I actually nailed a good one, but I got closer than I have in the past. I've done OK with rain as well.

The sun poked through the fog off and on as I drove down 101 in Redwood National Park. It made for some dramatic displays of light. I stopped a few times to try to capture the magic.

The Prairie Creek elk herd was hanging out near Elk Meadow. Tourists had gathered and were again crowding the elk. I guess this herd must be used to the constant attention. They moved through the crowd without much hesitation.

I saw another herd of roosevelt elk near Orick and a herd of tule elk a few hours South. I stopped in Trinidad for gas and took a few more pictures of the lighthouse. Other than that, it was a nice but uneventful trip home.
