Riley rides Redding

In Redding, we are blessed to have Whiskeytown National Recreation Area literally a few minutes drive to the west. In addition to being home to a beautiful lake, the area has numerous trails to explore. Below, my friend and colleague Riley Johnson of Shasta Home Inspections quietly rides a single track section of the famous 10 mile Chimney trail in this brief video. Check it out:
It offers a glimpse into the adventure, but also the serenity of the ride. There are lots of trails at the park. This website details local trails and offers an interesting 3D view of the path. 5 miles uphill, and 5 miles downhill.

Thanks for sharing, Riley. Beautiful riding all around us. It’s Really Redding.

Mt Shasta gets light cloak of snow

A gentle dusting signals our Fall season. The mountain has looked stark and barren all Summer. This light snowfall is so very welcome.

Jaimitos Tacos of Redding

Street tacos are a bit like pizza, in that everyone seems to have a different idea what goes into the dish. Jaimitos is one of the newer taco places in Redding, and offers their idea of street tacos and more.Jaimitos1  Located right on Cypress Avenue.JAimitos2 Jaimitos3

Oops. I cut off the taco portion of the menu. Tacos of all sorts are just over $2

Jack’s Seafood in Eureka

We dined at the new Jacks restaurant in Eureka recently.
Jacks EurekaIt’s one of the newest restaurants in Eureka, and one of only few restaurants actually on the waterfront. I think the other waterfront restaurant might be Cafe Marina on Woodley Island.

Eureka Jacks main1Years ago, I worked regularly in Eureka and we dined often at Lazios, which sadly burned to the ground, or burned to the harbor, years ago.  That place had authenticity (and an interesting story) The new Jacks looks to establish that fresh fish/waterfront element to the Humboldt Bay restaurant scene. They even have outdoor seating, which makes some sense in the new warmer climate Eureka seems to have obtained.

You should try Jacks when next in Eureka.  More at the Jacks website. Just about 3 hours from Really Redding.Eureka Jacks1
