Oldies but goodies

One of my ongoing projects is reorganizing and cataloging my old photos.  I'm proud to say that I'm now working my way backward through 2007.  To that end, I just found some forgotten photos from our 2007 Thanksgiving trip up the Mendocino coast.  We discovered a few things on that trip.  First, we learned that just because we decided not to make a Thanksgiving dinner didn't mean that everyone else wasn't going to.  Slightly problematic when your accommodations happen to be the back of a pickup truck and every business in the town closes at noon.  Then, we learned that cold weather and foggy conditions make for some very damp and frigid hiking, camping, sleeping, eating and everything else you might do when camped in the back of a pickup truck without heat.

It may sound like a drag, but we still had a ton of fun on that trip.  We did a lot of hiking on the beautiful coast, saw the vast majority of Mendocino by foot, and spent some quality time with the coastal Redwoods. 

Last but not least, here's a photo of Van Damme Beach, where we spent our first night out, at sunset.  Be sure to check out the Twisted Rock Photography website for a new California Coast album!
