I stopped at Bull Creek on my way down from Fortuna this morning. That place is a restorative for the soul.

We used to hang out at the old campground, about halfway to Albee Creek. Nice big sunny flat back there, good swimming hole and a very big tree on the other bank.

I am appreciating Bull Creek Flats more and more with each visit. redwoodhikes.com gives a 3 star rating out of 5 stars for the 10 mile loop, but I added a page this week suggesting its a 5 star location ... because there's nothing quite like it, even if a few stretches have smaller or different species.

Stout Grove ... Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park ...

In no rush to reach my 50 year anniversary going there, but sure looking forward to every year on my way there.

Here's a portrait from the flip side of Drury Parkway in the creek, Prairie Creek ...

Damn, Mario, you mean I missed you by 5 days or less? So sorry I missed you. I finally did make it to Beaverton, but got sick and had to beat a hasty retreat back home. Camped 2 weeks in Hiouchi, wandered around in those magnificent trees almost all day every day. You will recognize this one.
