Elks Lodge, Eureka, California
Once again, our master plan to beat the heat of Phoenix has worked well. OK; maybe too well. I think it kind of defeats the purpose when you have to turn the heat on most mornings to "take the chill off"...
So, we spent a week in Eureka. There's not a heck of a lot to do here and that was just fine with us. We didn't have big plans and we exceeded expectations. We did a little shopping (they have Costco and Walmart here), found a laundromat for a "big wash", got Geri a pedicure (way overpriced) and went to the "cook your own steak night" at the Lodge. I got in a couple of walks, of 4.7 and 3.2 miles respectively. It was nice to relax a bit.
As mentioned above, it was a cool visit. The coast seems to be in a cool and damp weather pattern this September. It was cloudy and/or foggy several days and even the sun didn't warm things up. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, though. In fact, we ended up staying an extra couple of days based on the forecast of warmer (aka "hot) temperatures inland at our next destination (Ukiah).
Sorry; no pictures at this stop (worth of posting, anyway)...
