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.

35MM Slides- Balboa Island, California

I went to Balboa Island in California in September 2011. A few months later a collection of 35mm slides came through my possession. As I was scanning them in, I knew the location looked familiar but could not place it.

That was until I saw the boat with the location name on it. Suddenly, it all clicked!


Halloween Disneyland Pictures – Day 1

Halloween Disneyland Pictures – Day 1

Our trip to Disney coincided with the beginning of the Halloween Season. As such, major portions of the park were decorated for the season.

The VERY first stop for us was my second favorite ride. The Haunted Mansion. It was decorated for “Nightmare Before Christmas,” which I thought was pretty cool.

Unfortunately, my favorite ride, Pirates of the Caribbean was closed for maintenance. But I did see this forlorn little lantern sitting on a post nearby.

During lunch, in Downtown Disney, noticed this “Police Car.” Looks pretty legal to me.
