On the first day of our trip, we headed north along Hwy 101. We were sure to include a stop at one of favorite lunch spot in Willits, Ardella's Cafe. We then continued north to our campsite in Fortuna. After setting up camp, we took some time to explore Ferndale, with its well preserved Victorian architecture. Cool place. The night was capped off with a fine meal at the Eel River Brewery.

Day two began with a tasty breakfast in Eureka with our friends Gil and Becky. Following their suggestion we stopped at Trinidad to take a short hike and check out the lighthouse. Definitely worth a visit!
