Crescent City, CA

Crescent City sounds like it should be the home to a comic book super hero, but it's actually home to a maximum security prison.

It's also where the moon scene from E.T. was shot, and it was Endor, the home of the Ewoks, in Return of the Jedi.  All this, according to the bartender at the bar that I was drinking at.  The Turf Club, one of the highest rated pubs in Crescent City according to Google, had no one in it.  I had to hunt to find the bartender.  Coincidentally, the Blue Jay's baseball game was on, so I watched them win the wildcard and get into the playoffs, chatted with the barkeep and drank a couple of cheap beers.  The next day, I headed out in the rain to Endor..

(these were by no means the biggest trees in the forest, but I didn't take my ball camera on the 10k hike so these are just the ones close to the trail head)

    1. Please accept my most humble apologies. I will endeavour to step up my ball camera game.
