Sunday, June 6th
Drive to Humboldt Redwoods State Park

We hadn't gone car camping in a while (only backpacking), so I was looking to plan a trip for June. Back in late March I decided to look for campsites in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. It was already booked solid on the weekends, so I reserved the next best thing, a 3-night trip starting on a Sunday night.

We left the Bay Area a little before 1pm. We stopped briefly a couple times, including Garberville to pick up some ice. Garberville is probably the last good place to stock up on supplies before the park. Thankfully, it was cold enough that the ice lasted the entire trip (even all the way back home on Wednesday).

After a nice drive through the redwoods from Highway 101 up Mattole Road, we arrived at Albee Creek Campground around 6:15pm. There was no one on duty at the campground, but we easily found our reserved site and set up camp. After dinner we took a brief stroll in the nearby field before bed.
