I traveled 55 miles to
Arcata, CA. My knee was tender today, so I took it slow. The redwoods and the “avenue of the giants” were great.
Hwy 101 between the redwoods and Arcata was not so fun. There was always a shoulder, but the cars were going 70 mph and on & off ramps were not so fun.
Boy was I happy to arrive in Arcata!
I stopped by campus and the CCAT (Campus Center for Appropriate Technology) house. They had a pedal power t.v., a pedal power blender, home made (non-toxic, no voc) paint, a composting toilet, a mobile solar grid (for festivals), thermal curtain window insulation, and many many more sweet innovations. Next, I went to the “circus house,” home of my buddy Shea Freelove & his Freelove Circus.
Stay tuned for updates on my fun times in town!
Here is a bio-dome greenhouse on campus at HSU. I felt dome-sick and this did not help!
Relaxing on my bed at the circus house.
See more of my photos here! Wow!

I love your posts! How I long to do a trip like yours, now! Challenging and yet lovely pretty.
In Aracata, I highly recommend:
viewing the AMAZING number of succulent-sellers at the farmers market,
befriending the friendly workers at the Finnish Sauna and Bathhouse(and good/cheap cafe with lots of reading materials),
and recycling whatever you can find at the super cool recycling center (near the Sauna cafe place).
Hugs for you! More than you can even feel!
