On soft spring nights I’ll stand in the yard under the stars - Something good will come out of all things yet - And it will be golden and eternal just like that - There’s no need to say another word.

A small state park, with really terrible parking options, featuring pretty second growth redwoods along creek trails, and a small beach for picnicking.
