[QUOTE=Unlikely Tripper;73965We've got a redwood stop on Day 2 ... the drive-thru redwood. Is there another redwood stop we should make?
[/QUOTE]While you're in the San-Fran area, you could pop up to Muir Woods in no time at all, and you could see the redwoods there.

The drive-through redwood WAS in Yosemite, but I was under the impression it had died and the national park service didn't plan to create another such tree (because though it was great advertising, it did kill the tree). I could be wrong.

One word of advice about going to Paula Dean's restaurant: Don't eat all day before you go. Yes, I'm serious. You'll want to have the buffet, and you want to be able to make the most of it. They start you off with hoe-cakes and cornbread. On the buffet you'll find a fish, a beef (probably pot roast), and her signature fried chicken. Oh, the vegetables . . . oh, the vegetables. My personal favorite is the corn-pone, or corn casserole. For dessert you'll have several choices, probably including banana pudding and pecan pie. My other hint: wear loose pants.

Next door to the restaurant is a new bookstore /kitchen gadet store -- also Paula's creation -- which you'll have to visit.
