I spend some time in Humboldt evert summer, it is a long drive but pretty; going through Lake County.
Southern Humboldt, or SoHum, is sunny and rocky in places during the summer
This rock has a non-PC name related to Native Americans, marking the beginning of the area
You can almost see to the coast
But up north near the bay it is foggy most of the time
The trees just love it, getting thousands of years old
And hundreds of feet tall
And dozens of feet across
With entire ecosystems in their tops
They twist as they grow and age
And merg with their neighbors
An old, mossy redwood log
This one has been down for a while
Fairyland, with paths through the redwood sorrel (not clovers), even the ferns are giant
Pillowy
Which way?
A flower
More wildflowers
And more types of moss than I could count. This was my favorite, like lizard skin
Up close
They, and I, really like minerals and rocks
And fossils
And geodes
A perfect black sphere
Stone dragon!
But the rivers are the best part
Tadpoles
Turning into frogs
