So I have to post when I get a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday morning I woke at 3:30 a.m. for no good reason at all, except I suspect that the Ray Jen Cafe, where I am getting my Internet fix, put regular coffee in the &#8220;decaf&#8221; Hazelnut I ordered the night before.  Returning to sleep was impossible so I got to work at about 5 a.m. on the dinette, and then headed over to Ray Jen again at about 8 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>Mid-day we headed out to the Ewok village, um, excuse me &#8212; I mean Stout Grove, a particularly famous area of Redwoods nearby.

The Stout Grove trail and the little extension we did was an easy two-mile roundtrip along the river, with endless beautiful scenes.
