It’s been a fun trip ( work for him, fun for me) to this area. I haven’t been here for many years and I’m guessing not a lot has changed. It is a fairly depressed area and I’m guessing that fishing and logging used to be the economy booster. There’s quite a few homeless and Not sure why as it’s not that warm or desirable but there are a lot of them hanging around. But we’ve had lots of walking, good food and fun all around.
We found 2 used bookstores but there’s no Goodwill. I didn’t feel like hitting up the other thrift stores. Eureka natural Foods and North Coast co-op are incredible stores. The one in Arcata has Humbolt State nearby so must do pretty well with that.
After B works this morning we will head to Chico and spend the night since it’s a 4-5 hour drive today. Then home Saturday. We may hit up the FArmersmarket on Saturday of not.
I bought a murder mystery book by a local author but after starting realized I had already read it but I’ll reread it and then pass on to the library. It’s a signed copy so that will be nice.
It’s rainy and windy here but once we’re inland it’ll be 79 degrees in Chico. Go figure, it’s California!!
My DH has wanted to take a trip up that way since he read The Wild Trees. Maybe when we retire?
You have so many great places to visit in CA!
Love that you guys are doing traveling in the area. We’ve been remiss – too busy, but we really want to make time for it!
