I wandered through the Cal Poly Humboldt campus to catch the bus to Trinidad and on the way I found a hobbit hole.

This may have been the most rural bus route I had ever experienced. It dropped me off in the town of Trinidad. I took a short walk through town and took a hike around Trinidad Head

It was sunny and windy.

Part of the hike went through this thicket.

Here’s the town of Trinidad

And some atmospheric pictures.

The lighthouse is still in operation (as, presumably, are these crab pots).

After my hike, I ate at the Seascape Restaurant where I had a really good smoked salmon cheese sandwich and some chowder. While there, I listened to the slightly awkward conversation of four people, one of whom was interviewing for a position in the Art Department at Cal Poly Humboldt. I wonder if he got the job?
Also, I’m pretty sure this was the beach Matt and I visited in 2019, though I never called that beach by name.
