I drove most of the night till about 5 a.m. and then rested till 7:30 a.m. and then drove on to Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. We
spent tooo much time at the Redwood forest and so I just needed to keep driving to try and keep the schedule. The bridge was a beaut! Since the 1930's until recently, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It has survived numerous earthquakes and still stands
proud and strong today...Now we all stand tall and proud on her, the golden gate~
thar she is round da bend!
