Redwood Forest Hiking Trails in Eureka CA - Behind The Redwood Fields Baseball Park in Cutten... off Fern Street...


Redwood Forest Hiking Trails Eureka CA - Behind Redwood Fields Baseball Park in Cutten off Fern Street.

Out behind Center Field are some trails that are unmarked... just built by KIDS on Dirt bikes... 

Some people Camp Out there because it's Wild, Private and easy Walking distance to Murphy's Market...

I found these trails by looking at Google Map Satellite Pictures... 

While driving down Fern Street... as soon as you enter the Parking Lot... take the dirt road that goes to the Left... along the edge of the Baseball Field...

If you turn right when entering... Another Trail Starts at the End of the Parking Lot... Walk to the Left Behind those Flags on the Outfield Fence...

It seems to me that driving can be a meditation awareness tool. Today I was really focused on the sound of the engine, alignment of the wheels and gear changing. Before I left I checked the oil and added a quart. So I was listening for the valve chirping I heard last week. I also put air in all 4 tires so I was paying attention to the steering and if the van tended to drive to the right... or the left...
AND I was staying on the road, avoiding head on collisions with the logging trucks and watching for unexpected slowdowns. Three times there were One Lane Roads with a flagman and a lead car... Not only do I have to stop in time but all those people behind me had to also.

So, I believe that driving can be used as an Idea Factory.

I'm not alone in this belief. Robert Pirsig wrote
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_and_the_Art_of_Motorcycle_Maintenance about this.

and Bob Seger sang "your mind goes wandering when you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing else to do" in the song "Turn the Page"...

Dolos in Eureka on the North Jetty - Photographs of Humboldt County, CA by gvan42
Looking at Eureka in the Distance

Dolos are Giant Concrete Objects that are used to Build Breakwaters... The ODD SHAPE prevents Ocean Waves from Washing them Away... Originally, The Jetties Were Built using Giant Rocks but... Storms Washed them Away... 
 They are about TEN Feet from End to End...

We REALLY Need to Guard the Atomic Waste at PG&E's Abandoned Nuclear Power Plant Near Eureka California... Anyone Can Walk Right Up To The Casks and Place a Standard Bomb Under Them... Building a "Dirty Bomb."

With Insane TrumpNiks® Running Around Planting Bombs and Failing to Overthrow the US Government... This Is A REAL Threat! A Terrorist Could Walk on the Public Trail and Then We Would Have to Instantly Evacuate Eureka... For a Thousand Years...  There ARE Two Chain Link Fences and a Guardhouse Protecting the Radioactive Waste from Unauthorized Visitors... So No One Can Enter Unless They Owned Wire Clippers and The Guard Was Sleeping... If There Even IS a Guard at All...

HEY! TrumpNiks® DON'T DO THIS! #MAGAKillersSUCK

It's REALLY Likely That You Will Be Arrested IF You Attempt to Visit... For ANY Reason! Even as an Internet Challenge Like #CyberPunks Do at Chernobyl.

The Real Solution To Problem of Atomic Energy is to Shut Down All Power Plants and Never Build any More!

F*CK YOU SHIMA!

Theodore Kaczynski, Timothy McVey, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev all Built Bombs. They Did Not Have any Special Skills Like Veterans of the US Military Do. Two Bombs were Placed in Washington DC on 1/6/2021. Suspect Still Unknown.

PG&E OUGHT TO BUILD A WALL AROUND THIS NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP BEFORE THERE IS A TERRORIST ATTACK.

How To Shut 'em All Down

and Never Build Any More.

NO NUKES!

Bribed Politicians are the Only Ones in Favor of Nuclear Energy That Actually Cause Atomic Power Plants to Be Constructed. Corporations That Stand to Profit MAGICALLY Convince the Crooked Elected Officials To Support Their Plans. However... Those Politicians Have to Get REELECTED to Keep on Feeding at the Public Trough... Therefore, They Hesitate to Vote In Favor of Projects That The Vast Majority of Voters Hate... How Would they Know the Opinions of the Public? I Like Writing Emails Using The Forms on The Senators and Representatives Websites... Other People March in the Streets Shouting Slogans and Holding Signs... Others Sign Petitions... Some Write Newspaper Articles and Magazine Articles... Some BLOG... Whatever You DO... DO IT! 

We Have to Fight Against Corporations That Employ So-Called Experts Promoting NUKES! 

Even Bill Gates is Promoting Nukes... He Says "Nukes are Not as Bad as Oil, Coal or Natural Gas." True. But He Fails to Mention Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geothermal or Burning Wood in a Stove...

The Country of Iran is Totally In Favor of Nuclear Energy... COULD THAT BE BECAUSE IT GIVES THEIR ATOM BOMB FACTORIES PLAUSABLE DENIABILITY?

"No, No... We aren't Making BOMBS... We Who Sit on a Vast Underground Ocean of Oil are Not Going to Use THAT to Generate Electricity... We are Building a Super Complex Power Plant That Uses Uranium Imported From Foreigners... "

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

PG&E, SoCal Edison and SMUD Have Totally Given UP on Nuclear Power. The Actual Executives That Make Purchasing Decisions have all #RUNAWAY... Ever Heard Of San Onofre and Diablo Canyon? The Cleanup Bill for Decommissioning is $9.2 Billion Dollars for Those Two Nuclear Power Plants and The Customers have to Pay for those Mistakes... So You Can Take Your College Degree in Nuclear Engineering and Write "Think Tank Articles" Because You Certainly Can't Get a Job Designing New Power Plants.

One Thing Is True. Everybody Hates Nukes. Oil Companies Hate Nukes, Executives at Electric Power Plants Hate Nukes. Ecology Activists Hate Nukes. The General Public Believes That HOMER SIMPSON Is an Accurate Portrayal of An Atomic Power Plant Employee... NO NUKES!

Corruption and Bribery Sends Crooked PRO-NUKE Politician To Prison... Republican Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder was among those arrested Tuesday in connection with an alleged public corruption conspiracy case involving a public utility. A FAILED ATOMIC POWER PLANT... A $1.5 Billion Dollar Bailout for a $61 Million Dollar Kickback!

The Only Nuclear Power Plant Currently Under Construction in the USA is VOGTLE in Georgia. Famous for Billion Dollar Cost Overruns and Failing to Do The Construction Work on Time. A MEGA Disaster!

BUSINESS: Southern Co. Earnings Hurt by Cost Overruns at Nuclear-Power Plant. Costs to build the Vogtle plant increase again by more than $1 billion.

How to fix the Waiting for Edge Chat error in the Farmville Game. DELETE COOKIES, RESTART GAME. and tips for playing Farmville.

In Google Chrome: Delete History/Clear Browsing Data prevents the error message from appearing... I keep the Passwords only...

Be aware that you will have to sign in again to all the websites you like... but the passwords will be stored, so that's easy to do... be aware that this is a temporary fix... I have to do it every time I want to play Farmville... and I have read that this infection happens on all games.

I Check EVERYTHING except passwords... 

A simple way to avoid annoying error messages on the computer is to put a piece of paper over the location of the message... often while I play Farmville, it says "waiting for edge chat facebook com" ... because the game is failing to connect with something I don't care about... the message is always in the lower left hand corner of the screen... so, a piece of paper folded in half removes that message from my sight...

Optional: Run Disk Cleanup... Good to do Occasionally... 
When I run Disk Cleanup... I select My Files Only, 
Drive C: OK... OK... Are You Sure? Delete Files.
deleting unnecessary files from my computer. 



Sometimes the error message will re-appear days later... so once again I delete history in Google Chrome... everything except passwords and the message stops appearing...

And then Chat Forbes Said on Facebook:
Greta Thunberg!! Way to go, from one person to the biggest world wide environmental protest in the history of Planet Earth!!!!
You old fuddy duddies flat-earthers who don’t believe in climate change, get your asses out of the way, my kids and grand kids need to live and take care of this mess we’re leaving them.
If climate change is a hoax (don’t think so), at least we’ll have cleaner air, earth & water: that’s nothing but a good thing!!!
I don’t know if people of my era remember, but coming back from Santa Cruz into the Santa Clara Valley was like dropping into a brown purple haze caused from all the pollution in the 1960’s. I personally don’t want to return to that period of toxic air if the powers that be are unregulated. Those that don’t agree can go “f” yourselves!!!!


and I replied: 
 I remember seeing that smog! I was working pushing shopping carts at P&W Super on Blossom Hill Road at Almaden Expressway AND SOME DAYS I COULD NOT SEE THE BUILDING ON TOP OF MOUNT UMUNHUM... and if you know where that all is... that's about a five mile visibility...
