It was a great day to just poke around on The Avenue of the Giants between Richardson Grove south of Benbow north to Myers Flat. It's a trip down memory lane. We first traveled this stretching 2008 but it was in 2014 that we lingered here and first started geocaching....

The island nation of Mauritius was unfamiliar to us before we started planning this trip but today we got a wonderful introduction to this volcanic island that’s been peopled for less than 400 years. We drove past sugar cane fields and tea plantations, visited a vanilla farm, and savored a delicious Mauritian lunch while soaking up all sorts of information about the geology, history, and economy of this tiny country.
