Marty's Travels

My house has wheels

Arcata

I’ve done it. I’m where I wanted to be. It was a good run down the Oregon coastline and it’s views.

I needed to complete a couple of tasks in Eureka, then went into Arcata to check out the town square. Today was the day for the Humboldt County Farmer’s Market. The town square is very small, and likely the most pliable place holding humans I can think of. It’s dynamics change by the seconds.

The market brought a load of people to the square; the sellers had colorful canopies set up. It looked great.

The city has planted blooming cherry trees around the square. Today was the peak day for the blossoms, covering the entire square in petals blown by a brisk wind off the ocean. I drove away through a fog of pink flowers.
