It does seem that lately I only take time to update the blog on Fridays, probably because I have the day off and CD is at work and of course, I'm procrastinating household chores!
Last week sometime (Tuesday?) the weather was clear, so CD took me flying. It was really cool to see the coastline. I love the look of rivers and bodies of water in general from above (thank goodness for Google Earth!) We just cruised around the Bay for about a half hour, but that seemed plenty of time to admire the geography below.
Humboldt Bay:
This is the Samoa bridge which connects Eureka to Samoa and crosses Woodley Island where the marina is:
South of town, the Eel River is extremely low:

Last weekend we took the last opportunity to hike and camp this season. People keep talking about the imminent snow approaching and by the temperatures we experienced I'm sure that any precipitation up in the Trinity Wilderness will be frozen.
We mostly drove up to see the changing colors in the trees, but were slightly disappointed because most trees are evergreens!
We hiked up a couple of miles up the Canyon Creek trail, but were most impressed by the campsites near the trailhead. This is Ripstein camp:
I love rocks and trees wearing their little moss sweaters:
