The Duffel Bag: 18 Mile Hike

Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.

Down distant paths for unmapped miles.

Heads forget but hearts remember:

The art of living knows no bounds.

* Prairie Creek Redwoods Hike

We made a quick weekend run up to Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt Co. to knock out a day hike Sam has been wanting to do.

This was an 18 mile hike that did a loop through the park. We saw a lot of different terrain and a lot of huge redwoods. The pictures did not come out as well as we would have liked, but many were taken in the shade of the forest and came out a little blurry. Still a great trip and glad we could get back up there.
