These are the pictures of the trip on the first day (12/9).

Top : Pacific Coast Highway 1. -  It was cloudy and windy day but the visibility was good. The wave was relatively high making wonderful ocean scenery.

Center : Chandelier Tree at Legget where Highway 1 and Highway 101 meets. It was the first tunnel tree the visitors have ever seen and they were really amazed at this giant redwood tree which was a few thousands years old, more than 300 feet tall and 21 feet of diameter with large enough hole allowing a passenger car to pass through.

Bottom : Shrine Drive-Thru Tree at Myers Flat. As the redwood carries nutrition through the surface, even though you can see the sky at the center of the tree as shown at right side picture, it lives without any problem.
