Last Monday, we woke up ready to explore. We drove up North, making stops along the way, and reaching the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park and Crescent City (or The Burger Place, as my dad calls it because we had Burger King there for lunch).

Unfortunately, the Redwood State Parks is extremely dog-UNfriendly despite the number of people and families who had dogs with them. Dogs aren’t allowed on any of the hiking trails or beaches so Dollie spent a lot of time in the car or just walking in circles in the parking lot. At one hike, my dad noticed a family walking out of the trail with their dog, even though the sign clearly said “no dogs allowed”, so he thought “what the heck” and walked Dollie in. When we finally finished the hike, another family with two dogs saw us and had the same “well if they did it, I guess we can do it too..” look on their face.
