Eureka

As I was driving through the redwoods from Ukiah this morning I concluded I will be spending much more time in this part of the country. It's dearly unfortunate the luck of boundaries puts this place in California rather than Oregon. But I think when my wheels stop turning, it's here.

There's a lot to see (ocean, mountains, small towns, birds) and I skipped a bunch along the way. No matter, I will be back every chance I get.

I haven't had a chance to explore Eureka yet, though weather is good tomorrow for a bit of that. Rain will come in on Monday, and I'll use those days to seeing the redwoods. There's no sun or rain under those trees, so it doesn't matter.

I've jumped a tad ahead of spring, so sitting for a bit will be a good idea. I've got some time to kill before my May 1 date to be on the Olympic Peninsula. I can't imagine a better place to sit and stay for a while.
