Update

There was a lot of fog coming out of Grants Pass, but about two miles from the Oregon/California border it cleared up and it was a beautiful, summer like day. The surfers were out in force and the Sea lions were as well, and making a hell of a racket. I didn't go into the trees today, I spent the day on the coast. I did see some oyster catchers, and some Grebes and a couple of seagulls... Mostly I just relaxed and enjoyed the view.
As the sunset came on some clouds moved in so the sunset was somwhat subdued. I stopped by the harbor, the crab season gets underway on Tuesday and all the fishing boats are loaded with crab pots. I have never seen the harbor quite so full or busy, there were a lot of people walking around. I have found fishermen to generally be a friendly lot, and spoke with a couple of them.


I then headed to Crescent Beach for the sunset, and while not spectacular it was still enjoyable (and not too bad for November!)
Tomorrow I will be heading for McKinleyville to visit with Mark, then on to Fortuna for the evening. I will be spending a couple of days at the Humbolt Bay Wildlife Refuge.
