Trinidad, CA

Last weekend we visited Trinidad, CA, where we were able to hike around Patrick's Point State Park. A gorgeous park where the redwood forest meets the sea. We got to see some Yurok buildings (built recently, but with traditional tools and materials). The Yurok were the native population who used to live in the Northwestern corner of California, smart people!

Here's Bill inside a replica of one of the Yurok homes. Like the beehive huts of Ireland, their doors were a low, tight squeeze!
We hiked all the way down to Agate Beach, where the prime goal is to find some pretty agates. However, judging by the number of people down on the beach searching, my guess is all the agates were found long ago.
But we did find some pretty rocks.
And Bill even found a few good skippin' rocks. Here he is just about ready to let one fly!

After our hike, we went back to our little cabin and cleaned up for the main event... Joelle & Jesse's Wedding!!!

Here is the happy couple, shortly after the beautiful ceremony. CONGRATULATIONS, Mr. & Mrs. Morris! :-)
