Today Julie and I made it to the Pacific Ocean!  We walked on the beach under the vast dunes forming Arcata Bay.  Arcata, CA is a fun university town we are exploring today.  Dolores de Glorious has gotten through her spring clean out and is running like a good VW can.  Today German Motors reset her timing and idle after the car genius, Larry met and healed her with the diagnosis of a faulty Double Relay last week.  

We are catching the Banff Mountain Film Festival tonight before we continue our coast foray in the morning with agate beaches and the most anticipated event of the year, Julie's introduction to really, really big trees.   Love and Gratitude to all.  Zach
