Eureka (!), Ewoks, Wine Country, Geysers and Petrified Forests

Been a while since I’ve had access to a computer.Eureka was, well, not that exciting at all - so I just drove through it. The street planners must have been bored as each street was just - A Street, B Street, Z street. Once through Eureka it got a bit more interesting on the Humboldt (?) coast. I went to Orick, which according to my guidebook was the site for some of Return of the Jedi - the bits with the Ewoks. I didn’t venture too far from the car, due to mountain lions (cougars/pumas) and black bears being around; I don’t have any bear-spray!Wine Country - Napa Valley is very pretty. Wish I hadn’t been driving, as I could have spent a lot of money getting sloshed in all the wineries.Back to S.F tomorrow, to catch a flight back to L.A, to then go to Hawaii on the 13th. I’ve enjoyed California, more so than I had expected to.
