Day Eight: Arcata, CA > Redwoods Nat'l Park, CA

Perhaps we had enough drinks in downtown Arcata (at Hum Brews & The Jambalaya) to slow us down a bit today, or, maybe it's just the pace of Humboldt county... but we got a chance to catch up with some friends in the area and were warmly welcomed to the scene.

We hit breakfast at Crosswinds Restaurant this morning, complete with complimentary rounds of champagne. Then, yes, more baseball... but, this time, I got to play. My friend Pete plays in a pickup hardball league on Sunday afternoons with the local hipsters and invited me to get in the mix. It felt great to flag down balls in center and run around in the sun for a while...

Now, we're off to the Redwood National Forest to sleep with the big trees...
