Back In Ferndale, Ca

Now there's nothing wrong with Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park but we were not assured of a campsite since we don't have reservations we have to check in each morning we wanted to assure a nearby place for the weekend. I'll have to comment on the State Park Reservation System later. Dawn wanted to attend a Folklife event in Blue Lake, East of Arcata this weekend and then there is the car/tractor show in Fortuna and a swap meet in Fortuna as well, so we returned. It will give my feet a chance to recover anyway.

We stopped in Trinidad at the Trinidad Bay Eatery and Gallery. We enjoyed a good Berry Cobbler here before and fortunately they still had it and it was as good as before. We each had it for breakfast. In my case, it even won out over a choice of a good Chicken Fried Steak, but i knew i couldn't watch them enjoy the cobbler no matter how good the steak. While we normally share our meals and therefore get to sample a greater variety, since Lou's recovering from a cold, we aren't sharing until full recovery.

When we returned to the fairgrounds, there were more people present but we got our previous spot with no problem.


We went out to Fortuna and stopped by a parking lot with alot of old cars being shown. The Fortuna Redwoods Auto Expo is this weekend. We then went to a laundromat and did our laundry. Fortuna has an old car cruise on the street in front of the laundromat so we got to see some of the cars (hundreds) on parade. We did our grocery shopping and headed back to Ferndale to our camp.
