I have been interested in finding more local trails to explore, so I was excited to learn of some logging roads off of Jacoby Creek that we could roam without any problems.
First we went down to the creek along the road and found a secret garden of lushness.
Beautiful moss fans,
ferns growing out of a fallen tree,
and a tarp.....is it too much to ask that people clean up their camps?
After the trail became too overgrown, we headed across the street for an uphill climb. It was a steep incline, boarded by the ferns that look like hands, that I had only really seen in fern canyon. We could hear the creek along the side of the road, but did not see it until we reached a long stretch of level road at least a 1/2 mile up. It was so lush with moss covered archways
and that pesky grass with razor sharp edges.All and all another beautiful January day in Humboldt County. Hopefully the weather will stay with us. As I look out the window now, all I see is a moist gray, oh well there is always tomorrow.
It is EXTREME fog right now!! Hope it clears up for ya; I love living vicariously through you as I sit in my office-- blandlife.
ReplyDeleteIt was a clear, sunny, cool day in Houston . . . the kind we dream of when it is 90+ degrees mid summer and humid as all get out. Wish I could walk through the woods with you to share the quiet joy.
