11:16 a.m.: A seal tries to negotiate a space on bouy 2, about 200 meters offshore of the end of the south jetty of #Humboldtbay . It's about a half mile swim back to another haul-out, so pretty soon he started toward me to see if my kayak could be an alternative refuge. Time to go, says I. #kayakhumboldt #kayakadventures #HumboldtCounty

6:40 a.m.: Steve is such a rad dude. He drove all the way from Arizona to northern California just to ride with us down the coast. He even put up with driving his monstrous Harley Nightrod down potholed switchback roads and camped in near freezing temps in Yosemite. He's as tough as they come. #inthesaddlewithsteve #redwoods #humboldtcounty #humboldt #northerncalifornia #explorecalifornia With @king_dolomite

4:20 p.m.: So this gorgeous little guy made a full recovery and at dusk last evening, he was chirping away, so we brought him to the door and he pushed off Dev's hand and flew thru the trees and off into the night sky!!! Was a moment of gratitude and pure magic!!! So blessed to have been able to help such a beautiful creature!! ๐๐๐ #screechOwl #magic #blessed #wildandfree #animalrescue #helpingoutanewfriend #whynoowlemoji #brilliantexperience #instaowl #owlsofinstagram #humboldtcounty #norcal #lostcoast

Wrangletown's final Kickstarter week is in full swing and I am seeing the very last Cider fermentation of the season through to the finish as well as pressing my last wine of the season today (a delicious Malbec which seems very promising!). #humboldtcounty

7:44 a.m.: It's impossible to make a good picture of a truly huge redwood. This beauty is The Big Tree, 67' in circumference, about 300' tall, and 1500 years old. #redwoods #humboldtcounty #california #hiking #thebigtree #autumn #getoutside #moonmountain397

11:25 a.m.: After sunset can be the best. Watching the stars come out both above and below as the cosmos are reflected by the liquid mirror and the milky way surrounds our tiny plastic boats. Priceless. #kayakhumboldt #HumboldtCounty #kayakadventures #kayaking
