about no longer living at the coast is spending time in Sequoia Park. Sequoia Park is in the middle of the city of Eureka in Humboldt County, California. It is over 100 acres of redwood trees. My old home, and where my heart is. This is a picture of one of our favorite trails in the park.
With an ambient temperature of between 60-70 degrees year round, we spent a lot of time at The Cove on Humboldt Bay. The kids loved playing in the water and it was a really safe place for them to be. As calm and serene as this looks, it would be hard for most people to believe that less than a 1/4 of a mile down the road is one of the most dangerous inlets in the world. And, about a 10 minute walk behind us is the Pacific Ocean.
But, the thing I miss the most is the trees. *Real* trees, as I call them. Ancient giants of the tree world. And this one would be my favorite. I played beneath it as a child and have watched the bronze plaque on it rise over the years from just above my head to well beyond my reach as an adult. Sitting beneath these trees is so peaceful and serene that one must experience it as words don't do it justice. If you ever have occasion to take a trip up Hwy. 101 to Humboldt County, don't miss Sequoia Park.
