Trees Of Mystery - Klamath, CA

This place was always so much fun to go to. Trees Of Mystery in Klamath, CA was always a "must stop" when Ben and I were in northern California. It has a self-guided tour of some very unusual trees. There is also a great museum and gift shop and across the street was a neat little place to eat called the Forest Cafe. The inside of the cafe is decorated like a forest. One side of the room makes it appear that you are dining under water. The food was always really good too.

Palco Lumber Company - Scotia, CA

Ben and I would always visit the Pacific Lumber Company (Palco) in Scotia, CA. They used to have a self-guided tour and we would doe the tour every time we were in that area. Scotia is a small company-owned town with a great museum and quaint little houses that all look exactly alike. The lumber company closed down a few years back.

Old Town Eureka, CA

Another one of Ben's and my favorite spots. This is Old Town Eureka, CA. We would park on one of the side streets and walk around town and then down to the boat dock. Was always so nice and quiet there. Not the hustle and bustle of southern California.

The Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse - Trinidad, CA

This was always one of Ben's and my favorite places when we would visit the north coast of California. Trinidad, CA is a tiny town along Hwy. 101 in Humboldt County. It is just 23 miles north of Eureka, CA. We would go there and walk down to the beach or we'd sit on the cliff near the lighthouse overlooking the bay. Such a beautiful place.

Nevada City, CA

My late husband Ben and I went to visit Ben's sister Donna when she lived in Nevada City, CA. We had never been there before so Donna's husband Rich took us on a tour of the town. What a great place this is to visit. It is an old gold mining town in northeast California in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. If you ever see a movie on The Hallmark Channel called "The Christmas Card", this is where the movie was filmed. I only wish we could have spent more time visiting the beautiful place.

Main Street - Ferndale, CA

Took this photo of Main Street in Ferndale, CA. As I've mentioned before, this was where my late husband Ben and I loved to vacation. If you ever visit Ferndale, stop by the Ferndale Meat Company for a sandwich.

Trinidad Head Memorial Lighthouse

This is one of my very favorite places and view in the world. This is the Trinidad Head Memorial Lighthouse in Trinidad, CA. Every time my late husband Ben and I would visit the far north coast of California, we would make sure we stopped by this spot. This photo brings back great memories for me.
