Turtle Bay Exploration Park

Redding has a really nice area along the Sacramento River called Turtle Bay Exploration Park which is part museum/exhibits/etc. and is also home to the Sundial Bridge.  They have done a really nice job making this area enjoyable for walking, biking, exploring, and such.  If in the area, it really is worth taking the time to visit.



I noticed this girlie SUV with long eyelashes - too cute.  You, too, can outfit your vehicle at Carlashes.com.  Good thing we have a "manly" truck or I could be tempted to get a pair. Was that sound John gasping? lol


While at Turtle Bay, we found a couple of geocaches (a scavenger hunt of sorts with the help of a gps and coordinates from geocaching.com).  This hiding spot was pretty ingenious; more elaborate than most.



Our favorite thing about this area is the Sundial Bridge.  It is beautiful and a real work of art. You can read all about the information on the bridge's construction here.  That Sacramento River is so beautiful the farther north you go.  


The bridge is especially beautiful at night as it is all lit up so we returned hoping to get a night shot.  However, the mosquitoes were so bad that we gave up about a half-hour before total darkness.
