Hi essence. Thanks for the reply. I see you are a son of the Bay Area too. I grew up in Oakland when it was a much different place than it is now. Will you be at Fleetweek too? I scored some box seats near Pier 39 so I hear they are good so we will see. I like your location.. My dad always said give me my ocean, my mountains, and my redwoods.. So every year we camped at Prairie Creek where all three were present( plus fishing on the Klamath River) It wasnt till many years later that I understood what he meant... I get it now.. Love all three plus the vineyards. Leaves should be changing soon up hiway 29. Will you get some shots and post them if possible. I miss the area. Dont forget the vineyards up in Lake County. They are beautiful in the Fall. Mt Konocti makes a great shot!. Go Giants... Cal Seal
