Making and meeting friends in Eureka.
We were hoping to camp in the redwoods, somewhere along the Avenue of the Giants. Finally got to a campground to be floored by the overnight cost, so we kept going up over the ridge to Honeydew, and a dandy little campground next to the Honeydew Creek. Apparently Honeydew is noted for the incredible marijuana grown there. It certainly is remote. Second gear up, second gear down.
After a couple nights of perfection, we made our way to the mouth of the Matole river on the coast for a final night of affordable camping before heading back to Eureka.
Hoping to touch bases with aircooledchris today.

The weather has indeed been incredibly perfect!
Yes, got to meet aircooledchris and circle, ogle his collection and all, was great to see Werner so shiny and happy.
A quick stop in Bandon, and we'll be on our way.

We're standing in front of the bus at sunset, so our shadows fall on the curtain, easterclick shot blind with an extended arm.

Home again, home again, jiggeddy jig.
Bertha was a joy to drive, no problems, no worries, except our cast iron camp pan that we forgot was on the roof to dry. Makes a horrible noise when it finally got tipped off. Fortunately, no injuries, in fact traffic wasn't an irritant for the entire trip until we got to Newport.

lol, actually, we only heard the sound, pulled over and checked the roof rack and stuff, first trip actually using the roof rack, blamed it on a thermos and went on.
It was only in unpacking on arrival home when the skillet didn't show up that we put two and two together.
