Greetings from the Redwoods! Amongst Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park’s 4,650 acres of grasslands, San Lorenzo River habitat, rare sandhills, and forests near Felton in the Santa Cruz Mountains is a 40-acre grove of old-growth redwood trees, some of the oldest and tallest trees in the world that inspired the redwood preservation movement in 1900 The Park’s diverse habitats support many plants and wildlife including banana slugs, black-tailed deer, endangered steelhead trout, and the endangered Zayante band-winged grasshopper and Mt Hermon June beetle which don’t live anywhere else in the world
Californias oldest state park offers a wide array of outdoor activities for individuals who appreciate nature and seek adventure These activities include peaceful hikes amidst the grandeur of towering redwoods, invigorating biking trails, serene fishing spots, and scenic camping grounds There is also horse back riding and steam train rides The geological wonders found within the park showcase not only majestic redwood trees but impressive rock formations, verdant fern-line canyons, vibrant wildflower meadows and meandering creeks that contribute to a serene ambiance

This chariot ride was not in keeping with its noble name, riddled with one mechanical fiasco after another Fortunate to be alive quite honestly
*Lavender Garden - all things lavender: where 5 varieties of lavender are cultivated seasonally throughout the year Blackwell Land was founded in 1871 by three French immigrants who came to California during the Gold Rush Descendants of the original three held on to the land, overseeing cattle and sheep ranching, and vast tracts of land for farming Now, the youngest generation is happy to open the farm to visitors, as we embark on a new venture with Lavender
*On the morning of Sept 30, 1955, Dean and his Porsche factory-trained mechanic, Rolf Wutherich, were in Hollywood preparing Dean’s new race rocket “Little Bastard” for races up in Salinas that weekend After twists and turns they ended up at Blackwells for gas and his fateful and fabled final stop Blackwells Corner still has Dean’s driving goggles A couple came upon the wreckage 25 miles west of the rest stop and found the precious item at the scene The Blackwells Corner stop is equally known for its locally grown nuts along with house-made treats as it is for being “James Dean’s Last Stop ” The two intersect as that slogan is stamped, along with an image of the billboard-sized cutout image of Dean, on every item a patron picks up
*Tehachapi Train Loop - Owned by the Union Pacific, the loop connects the San Joaquin Valley in south-central California with the Mojave Desert The loop was completed in 1876, and was considered a significant engineering feat at the time Trains over about 1 2k meters (around 4k) will cross themselves as they run through the helix #lavendargarden #jamesdean #tehachapitrainloop #I-40 #route66 #coloradoriver #blackwellcorner #grateful

12 years ago he said, “don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free to follow the path God made for me I grabbed his hand when I heard him call “
“If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembering joy
Be not burdened with hearts of sorrow My wish for you is the hope of tomorrow
Perhaps my time seemed much too brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me God wanted me - He’s set me free ”
A dozen years ago he turned his back and left us all
He would not stay another day,
to love, to laugh, to work or play
Tasks left undone would stay that way for he found peace at last, that day
We are filling it with joy and making loving memories as we remember you and all loved ones that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge Annually by scattering rose petals in water to sea it represents the cycle of life that we all eventually succumb to
Love you dad❣️We miss you❌⭕️ #celebrationoflife #memories #peace #joy #blessed #grateful #missmydad #lifechanges #rainbowbridge #rosepetals #cycleoflife #kickassupthere

The passions we have bring out the best in all of us especially in an exquisite setting Surrounded by water, skin kissed by the sun😎, toes in gratitude, ass in the sand
Life was good today, no worries in the world and longer I wanted to stay

The SJR cast a spell leaving me dazed and giddy The kaleidoscope of illusions the silky water creates with the surrounding slick rock and tall canyon walls is too sublime The intensity of the tranquility is mesmerizing…
Where does the blue elixir begin and the landscape end? Upside down, rightside up, mirror reflections make for a trance-like ride of breathtaking drama and heart-pounding vertigo
Yearning to go back to explore more…
