Day 7 - Eureka KOA to Burlington campground (more Redwoods)

Today's leg started out on the highway, but quickly led us to a side trip along winding, country roads through cow pastures and dairy farms.  We saw many American flags, large, muddy trucks, and giant billboards celebrating the agriculture industry.  Kristen encountered her first flat, which George fixed, and we continued our day into the magnificent stand of old-growth Redwoods, along the Avenue of the Giants.  Along our 60-mile trek, we passed at least three "one-tree treehouses," and drive-through trees, with carvings of sasquatches and bears lining the highway.  Redwood kitsch represents americana at its finest.
