and modified 11 days ago Ben and I drove out to Pearblossom in the desert this morning to visit the Devil's Punchbowl. We had been hearing about this place for years, but had never been there. At first you don't notice the "punchbowl", but when you walk over to the rim of the canyon, it is awesome. Photographs do NOT do it justice. This is something that needs to be seen in person to really appreciate the view.

and modified 2 months ago We walked along the old historic railroad right-of-way where they have removed the tracks and turned it into the Paradise Trailway for walking and biking. We checked out the depot park and then went over to photograph Feather River Canyon. Then went to Billie Park in paradise to take photos from the lookout of Butte Creek Canyon. Keith and I hiked down to the grotto while Ron waited for us at the top of the trail. ]]> http://public.fotki.com/kayben80/trip-to-paradise-ca/day-3/ Tue, 6 Oct 2009 22:11:27 GMT http://public.fotki.com/kayben80/trip-to-paradise-ca/day-2/ "Day 2" Album

and modified 2 months ago Last batch of photos. Not too many here as this was on the way home and I had to drive some, so didn't have a lot of time to take pictures. Left Ferndale with a 62 degrees temp and arrived in Canyon Country (Home) with a 100 degree temp. ]]> http://public.fotki.com/kayben80/vacation-september-2009/day-8/ Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:22:35 GMT http://public.fotki.com/kayben80/vacation-september-2009/day-7/ "Day 7" Album

and modified 2 months ago Today being our last day, we decided to just do some last day sight-seeing and pick up some things we wanted to take home.
First we stopped by Fort Humboldt State Historic Park. Here is a link about the park:

We drove up to Arcata but could not find anywhere to park and walk around the town square because they were having a big farmer's market. We headed back down to Woodley Island again and spent a little time there, then went over to Ben's favorite chocolate shop, Partricsk in Eureka. Then we drove back uptown and had lunch at Sizzler then headed back down to Loleta to hit the cheese factory again and buy some cheeses to take home.
After stopping back by our suite in Ferndale to put the cheese in the fridge, we headed down to Fortuna because they were having a Civil War Reinactment. I stood up on the hill and shot some photos of the battle.
The we drove down some backroads on the way back to Ferndale. ]]> http://public.fotki.com/kayben80/vacation-september-2009/day-7/ Sun, 20 Sep 2009 01:25:35 GMT http://public.fotki.com/kayben80/vacation-september-2009/day-6/ "Day 6" Album

and modified 2 months ago Today we decided to head up to Crescent City again hoping that the weather would be better than it was Monday. It was nice and sunny when we left Ferndale and beautiful all the way up, but when we got to Crescent City, the fog started to roll in. We were standing in the parking lot for the Battery Point Light and couldn't even see it. We decided to go check out some gift shops and then headed back. The fog had lifted a little, but we were not able to see the St. George Reef Light as it is 6 miles off the coast. I did walk to the end of St. George Point to take some photos. On the way back along the path, I scared some little snake that went slithering across the path in front of me.
We left Crescent City and headed back to Klammoth to have lunch at the Forest Cafe again, which is where we ate last Monday. Then we drove back down to Trinidad, CA and took more photos since it was a better day than when we were there Monday. ]]> http://public.fotki.com/kayben80/vacation-september-2009/day-6/ Sat, 19 Sep 2009 01:18:15 GMT
