I am soo stoked! Clare and I spent eight days in California, traveling through the Northcoast redwood country, camping, biking and staring at the big trees. We also got in some excellent friend and family visiting time with my buddy Dave and his wife Rosemary in Eureka and with Clare's family down in Mendocino County. We hit all of the main redwood parks, including Jed Smith Prairie Creek, Redwood National Park and Humboldt Redwoods. Riding our bikes among the giants was a big highlight of the trip. We also spent a night at Patrick's Point and fell asleep to the sound of the ocean crashing on the beach hundreds of feet below. Thanksgiving was spent with Clare's family on the amazing property that her grandma (also named Clare) and her (Roan) own in the hills above the Anderson Valley. Grandma Clare spoiled us with amazing food, wonderful company, and big warming fires in the kitchen hearth at every meal. Can't wait to get back there for another visit!
Clare barely escaped from this roadside Tyrannosaurus!
A beautiful old oak tree on Clare's grandmothers property. She owns 3,000 beautiful acres of steep forested hills that we're amazing to explore.

I really like these pictures!
Speaking of CA dreaming- we head to Bishop just after Christmas for a 3 month detail. Looking forward to new adventures!
Hey Marc, sorry I didn't get to call you when I got into Portland....I was more or less confiscated by old friends and there wasn't much I could do about it! It looks like you had fun in my old stomping grounds though...
...oh yeah, I hung out with Pete Leary in the Portland airport for a while on my way back to SF...small world!
