    Have you been before? We saw most of the animals in the Lamar valley. If you go down the road that says Slough Creek, you will head down a hill after the rest room and if you park at the first parking spot and look out across the river you will see on a hill side a rocky area with like a white line down it. The den is right at the bottom of that line in the trees. If you are there in the morning you can see the pups sometimes, if not you will see lots of wolf activity. The Grizzly were a mile or two further down on the hill sides of the valley, most of the black bears were between Roosevelt and Slough Creek. If you see a large clump of cars, stop, most likely a bear.

    Caught some crawdads for the first time in years. Anything in butter and garlic can be tasty.

    How's Pike Market in Seattle these days? Is downtown Seattle a shithole right now?

    I always love getting fruit rolls at Sosio's stand and some Hom Bao at the Chinese bakery

    Will be hiking in the redwoods, kayaking and trailer camping around Crescent City next month for awhile.

    Anyone know any good restaurants in that area?

    Dang, the Gateway Restaurant on the river is good, but that's closer to the Sequoia's.

    There's a Thunderbird Hotel near there, near the Southern end if I remember right and odds are I don't remember right.
    I went through there with my wife, mother-in-law and brother must have been 30 years ago. Got to the Thunderbird at night went to register and reached for my wallet when, POW, there was no wallet. Yikes, I had over $3,000 in it and now it was lost. I tried to figure out where it had gotten. We had driven from Redding through the redwoods early that night and stopped at a gas station to get a soft drink out of a vending machine, because the gas station was long closed for the night and no one there to take our money. I thought my wallet may have fallen out of my back pocket there. So, I raced through the redwoods and the small mountains and logging roads back to Redding where we had dinner that early evening. We got there just as they were opening and I asked the owner about my wallet. He asked who my server was whom I described and he told me she's the most honest person in the world and if she had found it she would have left it on top of this refrigerator and did not even look inside. At that he reached on top of the refrigerator and there it was. I looked inside and it was all there, every penny. The trip back to that restaurant was very hurried and left two of my passengers carsick worry about falling down a canyon along side the windy and scary road at night worried that someone not so honest may have found my wallet before me. I can recommend that restaurant in Red Bluff, the largest one in town, as well as any restaurant in a Thunderbird, my favorite hotel. I remember the Thunderbird near the old Memorial Coliseum and on the Willamette.
    Hey, watch your wallet.
    I think that puts you near the major marijuana growing region of California.

    Take the ferry to Cozumel if you want to swim in the ocean. The sargassum seaweed is bad this year. In Cozumel you can go to a nice day club for pretty cheap. Research them before you go, don't go off the recommendations of the cab driver, lol.

    Also Playacar is a private hotel zone next to Playa Del Carmen. They have big tractors to remove the seaweed from the beach. The hotels on the beach in Playa don't do that.
