La Selva....
Im a huge fan of forests. I have also been getting in to those panoramas.
These here are some of the younger redwoods in the area. Makes you want to hug a tree.

Going Coastal....
No mail, no guns.
Some pics from the Big Sur area from a couple weeks ago.
Nacamiento road goes pretty far back into the national forest off the 1. Unfortunately when the coastal campsites are so full that people are parking on the highway you kinda have to go inland. We went from sea-level to almos 3000 ft in a single shot, in the dark, with the worst fog I have ever seen. I mean 60 switchbacks and 3 foot visibility make this road a little exhausting on the nerves. Luckily we had beer.
Botchers Gap. This is where we met Moriah's least friendly park ranger. He sucked. She want to kill him. Even though the road was gated here and campsite was a little less than awesome, the morning sun and view wasnt to be missed.
Glad we brought the kayaks....all for nothing. No problem though, the surf was HUGE and scary.

Making It in California....
Im not sure what Im making or what Im supposed to be making, but I know a couple things. I dont think the new wheel bearing is going, bc after the steering damper broke off and spilled all of its oil in the parking lot, it drives significantly better. I also know that kayaking is awesome, and at the root of my anti-skiing days. The San Lorenzo River is super fun with a nice IV near the end that Moose dubbed as making her feel very "smug" as we both ran it as 10 other people watched and portaged. I missed the Pliney the Younger release at the Russian River Brewery, which was sad, but after reading about it was ok, because the lines were out the door and many many more people showed up than what was expected and were turned away without beer as it ran out, very very early.
Life in camp with Moriah is fun and dirty, and there shall be pics following soon. In theory.
