11.9.2015 Coos Bay,OR to Eureka, CA

Today can be described as cliffs & sea and Redwood forests.

Weatherise it was also very interesting: basically it was very warm and the sun was out but at places hidden behind

fog ( or shall I say mist ). Fog ( mist ) seems to be very typical for the Pacific coastline. Thanks to Google I found this

explanation: The Pacific Ocean stays pretty cold up here -- around 55 degrees -- in the summertime, which keeps the air

right near the water cooler than over land. As the warm sun shines on the ocean, water will evaporate, and then quickly

condense amid the cool air and form a low overcast or fog bank. The fog will drift inland just a bit since the immediate

coastline also stays cool from the nearby ocean.

These fog banks are only at places, sometimes for about a mile and then blue sky and sunshine.

But enough wisdom.

Today I am just uploading two pictures. They should speak of themselves.
