Happy memorial day all. Lets remember what its really for. While camping rules along with summer. Remember those who fell for our nation. I took a the time to make a visit to the "Soldiers Plot" today. This is what I saw.

So I headed out west last week to find a place to live. I was unsure of what I was going to find or think of the area I am moving to since it was the only part of the west I had never been too. To my surprise I was quite into it. A drive north of San Fran and a drive south of Portland and you are in some amazing country.




The beaches really blew me away. This was my first day there and I stumbled on this beach here. Boring I know


I drove up and down the Avenue of The Giants and on all the scenic side roads in awe of the Redwoods and how insanely massive these trees are. It is probably one of the cooler things I have ever seen.



This is Whiskey Town Lake. I took a long unintentional drive through the Shasta/Trinity National Park and Mountain range. It was 2 hours of winding, up and down, hair pin, stomach dropping and motion sickness roads and this was at the end on the other side. It was impressive and hot as fuck. It went from 65 degrees a few hours before on one side to 90 degrees on this side. There were some cliffs that I really thought I was going to plummet off of in the car.



I really wish I could say I hollowed this piece of fire wood out myself.







Oh and Elk are way bigger in person.








Anyway. Narrating all these pictures is pointless. Humboldt County California is absolutely amazing and beautiful. There are tons of landscape surprises around each bend and down every road. I am psyched I am moving there. I found a house that over looks the mountains in a good neighborhood. My living room windows look right out into the ranges and my land lord says I cant put the trash out the night before because it attracts bears. Well guess what I want to see a bear up close so I am putting my trash out the night before. I should make friends with all the neighbors when I do that. In about a month I get on the road and head out. I am getting excited for the change

This whole swine flu

Ok, so it sucks that there is a strain of flu out there that we have never seen, its killed some people and infected some. It will kill a few more and infect a lot more.

Do people forget that seasonal flu kills half a million people each year. Relax world. Everything will be ok.
