the lost coast

a couple of weeks ago neil and i journeyed out to the lost coast of ca, the western most point in the US and one of the most remote. we were there for a seaweed gathering adventure. this was unequivocally the windiest place i have ever been in my entire life. the beach = not fun = you could hardly walk = cant see because your eyes are dry = aerobic exercise just to stand in place. We drove up to the bluff above and then i though i would really die, as in be blown off the cliff for merely walking erect. the power of wind.



california lilac (Ceanothus) one of our newest and most prized medicines,
a fantastic lymphatic.

creasy however, found the inland mattole river to be the best thing that ever happened to her. the pictures dont do it justice, but she was having a private rapid run. she would run up and jump in and let herself be taken down the rapids then run the 1/4 mile back up and do it all again. awesome. no inner tube required.
