Redwood Country

We camped for a few days along the Eel River in a KOA with a 9-hole golf course next door. For $25 you could play all day.  Lynn and I went out a couple of times.  The course was not great, not well kept but it was little used and had great views, was up and down and narrow – meaning lost balls, lost balls, lost balls.

What really happened with Lynn is that the blackberries were ripe and I could not get her to play golf.  Each blackberry bush group we passed drew her in and you can see what happened.

Again, it is fortunate that the course was not well used because we spent, probably, an hour picking berries and no-one came through.  But we got bags of blackberries and froze them to use in Lynn’s morning specialty, “green juice,” which is essentially every plant product we have in the refer being ground into a juice.  Actually, it is quite good.

We spend some time touring around the Redwood forest and found this little, actually not so little, shop that sells all kinds of redwood art and home decor stuff.  RedwoodsWaterFeature.JPG

Lynn assumed the job of SHOPPER!

They had this cute mushroom thing, I think a garden statue, but it was up on the hill and looked so cool up there buy itself.

The Redwood area is famous for the Bigfoot sightings and, as such, a lot of stuff for sale there has to do with Bigfoot.  I thought I had a Big Foot, size 12 1/2, until I put my foot next to Bigfoot’s.
