a trail of trees and beaches

We left Eureka after going through a couple quilt stores, brunched in Arcata (home of a college town - Humboldt State), a tiny place called Trinidad had lots of fishermen sitting in boats crabbing or something in a beautiful bay, turned off the paved path to Orick to find a mile-long hiking trail through massive redwoods, between Crescent City and Brookings great coastal views awaited us (much of the coast was so fogged in with thick drizzle we were lucky to see anything), ending up in Gold Beach, a run down little town with some charm if you look for it. Joy's snoring away and I'm going to try to ignore the traffic that buzzes by on the main drag just below our window. More coastal towns tomorrow and a few quilt stores to come.
