Yepper, Trudy, Amanda, Carter and me
are-the-tourists, posing for a photo in front of an awesome 
redwood tree along the Rockefeller Loop Trail. The 
Humboldt Redwoods State Park was one of our first stops 
driving from the airport to Arcata, California.

Mad River Beach 
near Arcata. And yes ... The Pacific Ocean!

and Liam


Fern canyon is a magical place.


Driftwood Fandango
I reeeally enjoy the beach driftwood in northern California. 
This place, near the mouth of Redwood Creek  has the
largest accumulation of driftwood I have ever seen.


Moonstone Beach at Cambria, CA

Snow Flower
On our return to the airport in Reno, we 
stoped to spend several days exploring
the  Lassen Volcanic National Park.  This 
photo is of a parasitic Snow Flower, seen 
along the Lily Pond Trail.

Throwing A Snow Ball
It was pretty incredible to us as Floridians 
that in June there was an abundance of 
snow and ice in the high mountains of 
Lassen.

This neat yurt was our lodging in the Lassen Volcanic
