Crazy, crazy morning on Trinidad Pier and in/around the Harbor. Baxter and I walked down the hill to do our usual spin around the Headland and beach combing on Launcher Beach, to find a very busy parking lot being supervised by Rancheria staff. One guy actually tried to drop his truck & trailer in front …
Baxter and I took our usual spin around Trinidad Head as I successfully test drove my new hiking boots. I am a big fan of foot care. If your going to age well and maintain lifelong mobility, your feet need to be treated with great care. If you do so, your body will reward you …
Sadly, our dog Baxter sat this one out so I could have a relaxing walk on the beach. We had a minus tide this morning and being a JRT, he is a little too competitive for all the off-leash dogs. Without Baxter, I also have more time to look around and take pics! California State …
As people return to this “new normal” post-Covid phase, there seems to be a shift in gear. I sense a different vibe in the air as I walk the local trails and run errands around the county. The out of state license plates are on the rise and I don’t think it can be written …

There is no doubt that the summer tourism season has begun. For better or worse, they’re here…. We live in a sleepy little hamlet (technically a …
Baxter and I had another quiet walk (and return home) on Trinidad Head this morning followed by a little time on Launcher Beach. We encountered only one person at the start and two at the end of our headland walk. Yes, we are spoiled and loving it! Very grateful for the opportunity. Today also brought …
This week we have experienced some amazing mornings on the Northcoast. Early morning low tides and the Bay has been really flat. The lighting also provided gorgeous photo ops. Today was one of those days I wished I had gone kayaking. When Baxter and I came down off the headland, the crew from Kayak Trinidad …

On May 6 my Dad died. On May 14 my sisters and I buried him in the same plot our Mother was buried in on March 23, nine years previous. We all really thought Dad had another year or two to live. He suffered from complications from Diabetes and his heart finally gave way after …
