It was rather cold in Eureka last weekend. And foggy.
Michelle and I took a nice, long holiday weekend trip to the southern Oregon and northern California coasts. We got back Monday, but because I’ve been feeling crappy the last few days and because I hadn’t re-upped my Flickr Pro account, I’m just now posting the photos. The photo captions tell most of the story, but if you want more details, just ask one of us.
Let me sum it up:
The Pacific Ocean is still amazing, and the coast is a great place to visit. The towns along the 101 are usually either poverty-stricken or tourist traps. Both have their kitschy charm.
Eureka is a pretty neat town, but it is far away from everything.
The redwoods are really, really big. Not just big. Enormous
If you ever pass by a place called Hobbiton USA, stop and check it out. But keep your expectations at ankle-level, or you won’t enjoy yourself.
Lastly, north-central California really doesn’t have much to offer. It reminds me of Appalachia, and not the good parts. And I thought Bend was isolated…
Your HAIR!!!
:o(
Wow. Haircut. You look like Corey. Only maybe a little older. But still.
