the petting zoo

So we left San Diego and got a recomnedation to check out this campground called Jalama. We ended up staying 3 days. The surf there was the best we have seen thus far. While we were surfing, Dolphins were swimming through the lineup and Whales were breaching further out to sea. Back at the campsite Scott befriended 3 species of birds, and a little ground squirrell. The two became such good friends that the little bugger climbed into the car and helped himself to the bag of trailmix. We were able to salvalge most of the bag and decided to keep the car shut from then on. It was a great spot to camp, right on the beach, right in front of where we were surfing and it was awsome to go to sleep hearing the surf, and wake up seeing clean lines roll in from the horizon. We left Jalama yesterday, camped last night in podunk, and now we are using wifi in Humbolt. We made every wrong turn along the way and somehow ended up here after a days worth of driving the narrow windy pacific roads. We stoped at a few places along the way for surf checks, but could not justify the crumbly waves against the cold water. Tonite we will camp around Eureka and tommarow with any luck make it to the Trinity River and find a good section to paddle.
