May 12.<\/p>\n

In the morning I walked part of the Trillium Falls Trail and saw a few more giants. Near the falls were some really green mossy trees.<\/p>\n

I was following signs for the elk meadows, but didn\u2019t see any. I got in my car and just as I exited the park I noticed a bunch of cars parked along the road. Sure enough there was a herd of Elk grazing nearby. All their heads were down munching till a train hooted out loud, upon which all heads went up. Cameras went berserk left and right.<\/p>\n

In a little town called Trinidad I noticed that the sea was kind of protected behind a headland. The bay looked pretty nice with a bunch of rocks and a beach further over. Out around the headland there was more wind, so I could pick how much wind I wanted to deal with. I started looking for a ramp and followed the signs. Down at the beach one could only launch from the beach, which didn\u2019t look all that doable for my rig. However there was a small launching railway. For $35 they roll you in and out the water. A pretty slick looking operation. I asked the manager if he could do Fetch the next day (they were about to close). He took a look at the boat and thought it would be ok. He advised me to come back the next morning around 10 after all the other boats were in so they could take their time. The normally don\u2019t launch sailboats.<\/p>\n

I started looking for a place to charge my laptop battery and check email. The places that were open didn\u2019t have Internet and the places with Internet were closed. Outside one caf\u00e9 I got signal and had just enough power left to check my email, but not enough to reply. The RV Park didn\u2019t have Internet, so I drove out of town to find another park. Back along 101 I found a state park near the beach and drove in. No power hookup anywhere except for two sites. I pulled in an hooked up\u2026.no power. I checked the other one; no power. I tried the men\u2019s, which had a outlet, but it was busted. I tried the ladies and alas! Power! However, I didn\u2019t see myself go in there and sit down with my laptop, so I ran a power cord out the window and put up my folding chairs outside. Finally I got some more juice in my computer to do some photo editing and writing.<\/p>\n
