We've been here since Monday and we are leaving tomorrow am. Hope to get on the road by 9am and travel to Coos Bay, Or. Not too far(210 miles) but it's hilly and we will have to stop and view some of the ocean and coast.
We came through Redwood Forests on the way here and this is to some degree a logging community. Not much lumber is harvested but the logging trucks are still on the road. Some towns close to here are Eureka, Samoa, Manilla, and Mckinleyville. I guess you can tell some of the ethnicity of the area. The still have the Samoan Cook House, where the food is designed to please the lumberjacks.
Today we toured Arcata and Eureka, did some shopping and then went for a hike through the Redwood Forest on the so.east portion of Arcata. It was truly amazing to see a tree with a stump 20 feet across and as high as you can see. The darkness was sometimes disturbing but fun never the less. The weather here has been cool. Highs in the low 60s and low in the mid 40s definitely jacket weather. Overcast most of the time, good snuggling weather. Must go now to get some handsome sleep and prep for the journey tomorrow. Love to All,
Cris & Bob
