Baxter and I returned to our routine on the headland today and had the trail to ourselves. The perfect way to start off a new week; foggy but blissful. I hope these pics will help get your week off to a great start. #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego

Today’s Walk: Trillium Falls Trail
Friday July 17, 2020 About 20 minutes north of our home is my favorite hike in Redwood National and State Parks, the Trillium Falls Trail. The trail is a 3 mile loop that takes you up in elevation 400 ft thru a beautiful old growth forest of Redwood trees. The site is a former mill …
Today’s Kayak: Big Lagoon & Maple Creek
Experts suggest you vary your workouts rather than always doing the same thing. My new routine is mixing my daily walks with paddling. Instead of walking the trails today we took to the water at Big Lagoon and the adjacent Maple Creek. My brother in-law Craig and sister-in-law Michelle joined us. We started out in …
Today’s Drive: Interesting Neighborhood Features
Instead of walking today I gave family members an afternoon auto tour around the various neighborhoods in Arcata and the area surrounding Trinidad, CA. Every neighborhood has its own flavor or personality whether the residents realize it or not. It’s very interesting to look at the smaller details beyond the architecture. What’s in your neighborhood? …

Today’s Walk: The Other Headland
A change of scenery and a walk thru the forest with family led us out to Elk Head today. It was an exceptional day: NO WIND. Lots of Harbor seals and sea birds. Enjoy the pics. #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego

Today’s Walk: When the Beach is Your Backyard
Shaking up the routine today with my attention focused on the beach versus above it. Today was the last morning in a minus tide series that’s not at the crack of dawn; Baxter was left at home so I could wander the beach at my leisure. In addition to getting in a good walk, the …

Today’s Walk: Over the Hump
Wednesday July 8, 2020 I’m getting awfully spoiled and frankly I’m grateful for it. Its a very unique situation we live in. While places like Yosemite and other National Parks and Monuments are over run, Baxter and I had the trail to ourselves again this morning. The bay was flat which translates into an awesome …
Today’s Walk: Monday Monday 🎶
Monday July 6, 2020 Baxter and I had a quiet morning on the headland following the Independence Day weekend. There was a great low tide exposing Trinidad State Beach and the fish are running so the boat launch parking lot was full. It looks like the upwelling caused by last week’s wind has brought the …
Today’s Walk: Headed for the Hills
Friday July 3, 2020 My quest for solitude and a change of scenery required a 1 hour drive north to reach the remote Lyons Ranch Trail off of Bald Hills Road in Redwood National and State Parks. The Bald Hills contain rolling hills, beautiful prairies and oak woodlands; spectacular vistas that would thrill any photographer. …
