Leaving the Redwood Coast (Trail Miles: 12.7)

The Arcata area ended up being an amazing first stop on our great adventure! Ten days was a long enough stay that I felt we were really able to settle in and really get a feel for the place, but it was short enough that it never got boring. We were also able to resume a little bit of "normal" life. We ate family dinners around the dining table ...


Nathan played in the back yard ...


We went to the beach to play frisbee ...


We took morning walks ...


We sat by the fire ...


And I was even able to keep up with my weekly virtual game night with friends ...


And, the house we stayed in was amazingly homey. We couldn't have asked for more! 

That said, all good things must come to an end, and we'll be leaving town tomorrow. We'll be a little sad, but ready for the next leg of our trip. Onward!
