Redwood Empire: May 2005 Archives

Today we have a guest photographer, my mom, Pat, who has a shiny new point-and-shoot camera and took it out to the beach recently. Humboldt County, California--roughly the size of Delaware for the East Coast readers--is a beautiful place, with the world's tallest trees, craggy mountains, and empty beaches. It's about 300 miles north of San Francisco. It is also where I went to high school. I'll be posting some of my own pics of Humboldt later on, but today let's join Holly the Corgi as she tours Manila Dunes, aka Samoa Dunes, a thin stretch of land that acts as a barrier between the Pacific Ocean and Humboldt Bay.
