| The Banana Slug. I vital part of the Redwood ecosystem. |

| The Dolason Barn in Dolason Prairie. A nice opening to see the redwoods from a different perspective. And zero people. |

| Dispersed backcountry camping along Emerald Creek, complete with the ability to collect up to 50 pounds of dead wood. |

If you're looking for solitude in the Redwood National Park, then backcountry camping along the Emerald Creek is a safe bet. Had a great time hiking around, swimming, exploring and burning wood (legally!!).
I then was forced to go into Crescent City to have my car repaired. $350 later and I've got a new water pump and serpentine belt. Against all logic to just buy a new car, I'm determined to squeeze every last mile out of my old faithful friend.
