Wednesday
Here we sit at the fairgrounds in Eureka and watching the little “witches and goblins” head around the corner to one of the buildings that has been set up for “Trick or Treating”. It has been a real “treat” for Louise and me. Today we drove into town and walked the “Old Town” of Eureka. They have some absolutely incredible Victorian homes and especially one that was built for a lumber magnate in the late 1880’s. Unfortunately, I didn’t take my camera with us…NUTS !!! I hope that I can go back in the morning and get a couple of shots.

Our stop for lunch today was really a treat. We drove out to Samoa Island to have lunch at the Cookhouse Restaurant and Museum. This is the same “cookhouse” that was used in the late 1800’s to feed the loggers that worked the redwood forests of the area. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner but offer only one main course. Today it was fried chicken (all you can eat) and served family style. For $10 each, we were served meatball soup, salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, 7 bean salad, corn, coffee, and a great spice cake. I’m wondering if we shouldn’t go back again tomorrow…
