Humboldt Lagoons State Park
Humboldt Lagoons State Park
Humboldt Lagoons State Park is about 30 miles south of Eureka California, and was created in 1921 by the Save-the-Redwoods League from lands purchased from the Pacific Lumber Company. It is now the third largest park in the California State Park System, at nearly 53,000 acres

While the park has gorgeous coast lines, it’s really famed for the Coast Redwoods. 100 of the of the 137 largest Redwoods grow in the park.

San Francisco – September 2011
From my September 2011 trip to California. We stopped in San Francisco on the way back home from Los Angeles.
Jack Daniel’s Honey Whiskey
Jack Daniel’s Honey Whiskey
Just had Jack Daniel’s new Honey Whiskey at a Christmas party last night. I’m not really into whiskey in general, but I had to try really hard to limit myself to only two drinks. The honey added a very nice aroma and flavor to normal whiskey drinks.
Hearst Castle – California State Historic Park
Hearst Castle – California State Historic Park
Hearst Castle is quite an amazing place. Unfortunately, there is no good way to get a picture of the entire thing. You can either get an extremely long distance photo, or obscenely up close. Nothing in between. So instead I took pictures of the view around the extensive grounds.
The view from here is Sam Simeon Bay. Note that from here the ocean is five miles away.
The now unincorporated town of San Simeon sits next to San Simeon Bay. It was once a sub-Mission of Mission San Miguel Arcángel, and later became a trading hub for the local area. A dock was built to allow ships to load and unload cargo here. The bay was also used for whaling, no doubt preying on the pods of humpback whales migrating through the area.
Hearst Castle is covered with gorgeous statuary and art of all sorts. In fact many of the buildings themselves are pieces of artwork, often decorated with intricate frescos or carved wood.
