In my backyard in Redding, actually. A few fall images I captured, taken at different times in the day. CLick any to slightly enlarge.

Lovely Fall colors. Just another thing to be thankful for, on this Thanksgiving 2015.

Life and all in Redding California
Here’s a locally produced film of a couple of mountain bikers enjoying some local trails around Redding. The terrain will look familiar to northstate viewers, even if you haven’t actually been on these particular trails. Nice production. Nice riding.
We boast an amazing system of trails throughout the Redding and Shasta region. A strong culture of riding has naturally followed. You can learn more from the good folks at Ride Redding, who are committed to promoting all aspects of our local bike community.
Erin attended the opening night of The Moroccan Dinner at Armando’s Gallery in Redding and came away with a few images.

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.
Here’s how the area looks from across the lake.

Thanks for sharing, Riley. Beautiful riding all around us. It’s Really Redding.
This brief meditation is brought to you by Patrick’s Point State Park, which is just about a 3 hour drive west of Really Redding. A very beautiful drive, one might add. One of my favorite spots in Northern California, and a real treasure to have available just a few hours away.
We attended the Spooktoberfest put on by Turtle Bay with kids and grandkids in tow. It was very well attended. A few scenes:


Above, the super cute costume contest.
Thanks to Turtle Bay for this fun experience from our family and all the others who enjoyed the evening! It’s Really Redding.
