When Vegas Bob was a teenager and lived in Portland Oregon many moons ago, he use to travel up and down the Oregon & California Coastline. Ever year VB would spend about one month hiking in the Redwoods, playing alone the beaches, etc. Most of VB's travels were done by himself because his family lived back in Minnesota around 2000 miles away.
One of VB's favorite towns was Orick California, right in the middle of one of the HUGEST Redwood National Parks in the World. Back when VB traveled through Orick, there was no Redwood National Park and workers use to cut these HUGE Redwood Trees down for a living, "Times changed" and now these trees are protected by the Federal Government.
The little town of Orick has a population of about 100 people, and hasn't really changed much in the last 30 years. Here are two photographs that I took several weeks ago on my last visit to Orick California, the photo at the top is a lagoon by the beach & the photo below is of the beach in Orick. Notice the FOG in both photos, Orick is aways like this because the Redwood Trees produce their own moisture to survive and there are hundreds of thousands of Redwood Trees surrounding Orick California.

Vegas Bob would like to wish everyone a "Good Night" from the Redwoods in northern California.
It's a little foggy tonight from the moisture of the Redwoods, and a little spooky. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and if your not working, enjoy your time with your families!

Vegas Bob was hiking in the Redwood Trees in Orick California today, and it was very foggy as you can see in the photo (above).
VB took some great photos & video of the Redwoods in Orick and will be headed to "Grizzly Redwood State Park" tomorrow ... Thursday and on Friday VB will be headed down the "Lost Coast" by Ferndale California and then driving through the "Avenue of Giants"
The photo (below) looks like it was taken in Black and White but it wasn't ... I think looking hundreds of feet towards the top of the Redwood Trees into the clouds blunted the color.
There is so much mosture around the Redwood Trees that there are green plants covering the forest floor like the photo below ...

I would like to wish everyone a wonderful "Labor Day" and the holiday weekend was very busy for me. VB's relatives from the Midwest have been in Las Vegas for several days and it is very exciting to have all of us in one area at the same time. I have really enjoyed it and will remember this "Labor Day" weekend for quite a long time. My fathers birthday is September 6th, so we had a birthday party for him Sunday and he really enjoyed it.
They are headed back to the Midwest so VB is going to get his last vacation out of the way before fall and the colder weather comes by hanging out in the Redwoods in Northern California. Take a look at this photo (above) of VB hanging out in the Redwoods and tell me he isn't having a great time.
And here is Nu Nu standing between a Redwood that had been cut within "The Avenue of GIANTS" located in Northern California. VB tries to visit the Redwoods ever year and I know they are waiting for me to visit, there have been many different weekends that I had planned to go this year and never made it. Well if I don't just in my car and drive to Northern California this year in 2011, it will bother me all Winter long so ... I will be going this week some time ... ;o)
