Another beautiful day in Trinidad


Hope you enjoyed the weekend. Godwit Days was going on all over the county. It usually rains for the birding event but this weekend was perfect for wildlife viewing and picture taking.
Anyone that ended up in Trinidad on Saturday would have seen things looking like this photo. More sun was available on Sunday along with a few contrails.
I thought the photo would make a nice screen saver so if anyone wants to copy it for that purpose, you have my permission.

Rescue at Camel Rock











Other than a lot of wind, it was a beautiful day in Trinidad this Sunday. I took drive down Scenic Drive at about 11 am and saw a lot of rescue vehicles near Camel Rock. The Coast Guard had landed one of their helicopters on the beach.


I was unable to speak to the rescuers at the time. I called CDF and dispatch said an injured surfer was airlifted to St. Joseph Hospital. The injuries didn't appear to be life threatening. They said someone had a dislocated or injured hip. The steep cliffs at the beach made carrying the injured surfer up to the road an undesirable option, so they got an exciting helicopter ride.


That's all the info I have now.
