Shively Summer Bridge

Knowlesville Posted on August 31, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Shively Bridge

I’ve been reading a book “Humboldt Redwoods State Park” the last few days, so I decided to use my two day Labor Day weekend to go out and explore. Lori and I worked Saturday so we didn’t get the 3 … Continue reading →

The Kitty Blanky

Knowlesville Posted on August 30, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Meg & Trevor

This is a rare shot for two reasons. One, because Lori took it and I’m in it, and secondly and more importantly, both Meg and Trevor are sitting on my lap. Meg still resents that we accepted a cat that … Continue reading →

Wood Carrier

Knowlesville Posted on August 29, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019

There’s something about our wood carrier that is irresistible to our cats. I’m not sure what is so interesting about it that when it isn’t filled with logs, there’s usually one or more cats sitting in it. Tonight we rented … Continue reading →

The World

Knowlesville Posted on August 25, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
The World

On the way back from Hoopa, I stopped by the harbor in Eureka to take a look at The World, a condominium complex built as a ship. In case you have a few extra millions you’re trying to find a … Continue reading →

Covered Bridge

Knowlesville Posted on August 24, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Covered Bridge

Finally, a day off after working nearly 3 weeks without one. Rewarded myself with a ride on the Sprint, even though I probably should’ve been doing yardwork or maybe working on the house. But the weather was just too nice. … Continue reading →

What a Crew, What a Boat

Knowlesville Posted on August 20, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Rafting

As my expression indicates, the water was COLD! One major difference between modern inflatable rafts and those we used at the Adventure Unlimited camp in Colorado, is they are now self bailing. The bottom of the raft is attached in … Continue reading →

We’re Back!

Knowlesville Posted on August 19, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Rafting

Our brave and studdly crew made it through without anybody going AWOL. Our guide, Patrick, was the only guide out of the three rafts in our group to clear it both days. So we were in good hands.

Knowlesville Posted on August 18, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Rafting

It was such a relief today to go to the office and be able to have peace and quiet and listen to music we like. Today’s picture cleary defines how this section of the Trinity got the name \”Hell’s Hole\”. … Continue reading →

Going, Going…

Knowlesville Posted on August 17, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Rafting

Last day of the fair! While the fair gave us great exposure, we are thrilled that we will be getting back to our normal routine. The compliments on my work were great, the daily donuts were yummy, the ice cream … Continue reading →

Back in June I promised some pictures from our rafting trip on the Trinity River. I finally got them this week, so I’ll be featuring them over the next few days. Here we are starting our approach on the hairiest … Continue reading →

Leonardi Pigs

Pigs

Two of the workers in the Humboldt Creamery booth that is across from us are sisters, Margaret and Elizabeth Leonardi. They both entered pigs in the fair, and the pigs also happen to be sisters. Margaret’s pig, Skinny Minny, won … Continue reading →

The Latest Barnyard Fashion

Knowlesville Posted on August 12, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Sheebra

This is an example of what can go wrong with genetically engineered animals. In a failed attempt to create a smaller, fuzzier zebra that would be ideal as a domestic pet, these scientists accidently created the worlds only pink sheebra.

Chicken Pox

Knowlesville Posted on August 12, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Poultry Contest

Due to a very infectious disease that is spreading this year, there are no poultry displays at the fair. To make use of the space that normally houses the chickens, ducks, turkeys, and other assorted fowl creatures, they set up … Continue reading →

Nothing But Net

Human Cannonball

Dave “The Bullet” Smith is still at it. Here’s the view of his landing net. He does a 180 degree somersault so he lands on his back in the net, and then hopefully he’s able to grab the net so … Continue reading →

A Million Donuts

Knowlesville Posted on August 10, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
A Million Donuts

Yesterday was a historic day in Ferndale. Around the corner from our booth at the fair, Dave is running a little donut machine that cranks out about 5000 donuts a day. Very yummy as they are served piping hot straight … Continue reading →

It’s a bird…

Knowlesville Posted on August 9, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Human Cannonball

This is David Smith flying through the air at roughly 70ft of altitude. He’s doing this 2-3 times a day for the length of the fair. Human canonball, he is, and second generation at that. Keeping it in the family, … Continue reading →

Humboldt County Fair at night

I was standing in the photography display at the fair, admiring the other photos there when someone came in and mentioned there was a killer sunset outside. I popped my head out and after confirming it, I made a dash … Continue reading →

Censored

Knowlesville Posted on August 7, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019

I entered 6 photos in the fair this year, 4 made it. Two got bounced because they weren’t G Rated. I didn’t realize that the bar was set as low as it was. The two photos that were pulled were … Continue reading →

Today we set up our booth at the Humboldt County Fair. This will be our home for the next 10 days. Hopefully it will prove lucrative. Mostly I’m hoping to get my name out there more in the public’s eye, … Continue reading →

Stupid Slug

Knowlesville Posted on August 4, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Stupid Slug

I’m not sure what’s going on here. Either the slugs have also heard about the salamander, or they’re beginning to notice that evicerated slug carcasses are starting to pile up in the yard. Once again this morning I made my … Continue reading →

Amphibious Sunday

Knowlesville Posted on August 3, 2003 by MattApril 26, 2019
Salamander

Today had an amphibious flavor to it. First, during my ritual morning slug and snail slaughter, I spotted a little tree frog. Not really a big deal, I see them all the time. Next I spotted this salamder, whose brown … Continue reading →
