sleeping at the beach!

tuesday, october 6, 2009

after leaving home (the hostel – ::sigh:: – i could totally live there, but they are closing down in january because of much needed funds ($1.5 mil) to do much needed retro-fitting, etc. – sad truly, but they have their eyes on some state money, i hope they get it, because i want to come back and stay there again sometime), we continued south on 101, towards humbolt county, stopping, of course, to drive through a redwood tree, and see some emus!

someone told us that you could sleep on the beach a few miles south at clam beach county park, so we headed south.  $12 a night, walked on the beach, slept in the parking lot with dozens of hippies, who all wanted to share their bud in the morning.  you cant make this shit up, ya’ll.  thanks, my honeybun, for these great shots:
