Seattle, WA

July 20, 2010

Today we drove 5 hours North to Seattle. It was cloudy 90% of the way. I didn't really get any cool pictures today, just one of the Sea-Tac airport tower.

The hotel I'm staying at is not that great, big bummer! It is right by the airport so it is convenient but this building is old and it smells old! I've been in worse but tomorrow I'm working in the hotel room and a nice room always makes things better.

Oregon Caves National Monument

July 19, 2010

Today we left the cold of Crescent City and headed North. We collected a park I've never been to before, Oregon Caves National Monument. I was sort of dreading this park because to get to it you have to drive on a long windy road. It turned out that it was a long windy road where you typically only go between 20 and 45 mph but the end was worth it. This is a really great park that has an old lodge, I wasn't expecting that. This would be a great one or two night vacation. It is pretty secluded but if you want to experience a park with little civilization this is the park to come to! Collection of this park only took us a couple of hours and then we headed further North to spend the night in Cottage Grove, OR. On the way North we saw this water fountain that was flowing with purple water, yes purple! We had to turn the truck around and take a quick photo. Pretty cool!

Crescent City, CA

Today was a day off.
There was early morning fog around the city. This is a photo of the lighthouse.
Some guy was enjoying the morning flying around the beach.


These birds are all over....

I could hear the sea lions again today but still couldn't see them. I did find a painted picture so I think this will have to do.

Crescent City, CA

July 17, 2010

Today I spent the day working in the hotel room. After working I took a short walk around the Crescent City Harbor and took a couple of photos. I can hear sea lions but can't see them. I've tried three times to find them while I've been here but no luck yet. I saw a small hawk flying over the harbor with a fish in hand but I wasn't able to snap a photo of that. The walk was nice, but short. The smells around the harbor can be a bit unpleasant, very dead fish like. The boats also creek and make noises that you wouldn't expect. I think that might be a spooky place to be at night.

Redwood National Park

Today we finished our recollection of the park. We finally got some images that look good in the dark tree cover. What a relief! Productive days are always nice. We also had great weather so today was almost perfect!

I didn't take many photos today. I did get a couple photos of some HUGE yellow slugs hanging out on a gate post.
