Today was the day that the rest of the trip was planned around. Today, we rode the world-famous Skunk
Train. The Skunk Train follows a 30-mile long, 130 year old rail line over big hills and through deep forests. From Willits to Fort Bragg, this rail line was built in 1885 to transport giant redwoods that had been logged in these hills. Much of San Francisco was built from trees felled in these woods. Although the forest was clear cut, the train trip through the new growth is still an incredibly scenic route. The train was great, but the highlights were definitely the big trees and the musician who played tune after tune on his guitar, flute, and pan flute. We had no idea that a flute could be played that way -- wow!
