Earthquake
We left Coos Bay and headed down the coast in the rain today and stopped at the West Coast Game Park in Bandon. As soon as we got inside, it was obvious that we'd made a mistake. Distraught chimps banging the walls, big cats and lions in small cages, but since we were there, we spent some time talking with the animals and thanking them for their sacrifice (and apologizing too). We got to hold and play with two 4 week old leopard cubs that were very wiggly - see photo of Mary with one.
We are now camped right next to Redwoods National Park. Soon after we arrived, we were in a store and Mary thought she felt an earthquake. An hour later, our friend Jane called to tell us there had been a 6.5 quake in Eureka, only 80 miles south. Fortunately there were no fatalities and it sounds like the roads are all functional, so it shouldn't affect us when we head south.
