Heading back from an overnight stay in Klamath, Ca. going through Orick, came across these guys. There must have been about 30-40 in total. Luckily the speed limit was 35 mph, as they were just past a blind corner.

Elk can see blue and yellow but not red. Blue appears more striking to an elk than to humans. So your C7 might have been the highlight of their day.

Driving through Yosemite National Park every year, sometimes make me really appreciate the Z51 brakes.

After a major storm, I came around another curve with an 18" high, 24" long, and an 8" wide granite rock that should have been on a hill, in the middle of the hill. OMG!

I am glad it was a save due to the larger aircooled brakrs!!!!!!

I came across these two guys a few years ago (Leggett, Ca.). Zoom in to see them antlers.

The trip to Crescent City was great. The ride from Redding to Crescent City was exceptional. I took Hwy 299 west to Eureka. This stretch is great. From the road condition to the scenery, it's a much do if you're in the area. As is any route in this part of the state.
