On the eve of my 44th birthday, there’s a lot to be grateful for. Not least among them: the mother and son who found my keys tonight in the surf. That was a close one. Clearly I’m still learning … Also: @dc_brooks for showing me this fantastic spot last year. One of the best. (at Trinidad, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcE1uxzr4MG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I usually don’t expect much from a “nature trail.” To see this much lushness and vibrance in a <1-mile loop blew me away. I had to do it twice, and then some. (at Arcata Community Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb9OxlsrCgL/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Coast Trail from Enderts Beach to Damnation Creek follows the old highway that predates 101. Surreal and magical. Virgin forest, wildflowers, coastal views, heaven (at Enderts Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb8aw3Yvi-8/?utm_medium=tumblr
