(I know what you did) Last weekend...Part I

So it's not Sunday or Monday when I said I would post this; it's Tuesday, which is even better! As I mentioned in my last post, Mike-ster and I took the dog up north for a race. This race, if you chose to peruse the link (available again HERE), is a fairly small one as marathons and half marathons go, but it also has a neat-o history and is kind of a "grass roots running event", if you will, and we love stuff like that. So we left Friday afternoon and made it up by 9, enjoying an Applebees dinner (my first) and our hotel room. 

On Saturday we got deli sandwiches and picked up our race packets in the park where the race started (about 40 minutes south of Eureka). I've been lazy and using the phone and many of these (read: almost all) are taken from the car; lazy, I know, oh well.

Stones on the bank of the Eel River

Guinness ate Mike's sandwich which was in the car while we picked up the race packet which resulted in a punitive dunk in the Eel River.

We also checked out the small towns of Ferndale and Scotia. 

Deli/Market in Scotia. I looked crazy just taking a picture at the meat counter, but I loved it.

The Scotia Inn...check out the lobby shots below:

This is Ferndale

Part II (racing and a cool dinner) and that Easter stuff soon to come...
