101 reasons to move to crescent city ca: Crescent City Fed Ex Driver Gives Awesome Service - 11/16/09 11:30 PM
My Crescent City Fed Ex driver is the best there is and just one more reason I love living in a small town.
First off, I don't know his name, but I will find out and put it in this post.  He is awesome.  My husband and I had a delivery that needed a signature and it was impossible for either of us to be home from work, so he delivered the package to my husbands school (he's a teacher) during my husbands lunch break. How convenient is that?
Today, I was at work and noticed the Fed Ex truck in our parking lot.  I … (0 comments)

101 reasons to move to crescent city ca: Crescent City Tuna Fishing with Mike Nolan - 10/13/09 04:28 PM
Here is another of Mike's Crescent City fishing excursions for Tuna off the Del Norte County coast.  
This was THE MOST DELICIOUS tuna ever.  My family likes our tuna marinated in Soy Vay marinade, wrapped in bacon around 2 inch sized tuna pieces, then barbecued, but it's delicous baked as well and excellent to eat cold the next day.
My daughter hides the leftovers, if there are any, in the refrigerator for the next day.  My kids will make sure they are home for dinner when fresh tuna is being served.
 Thank you Mike for ALL the fresh fish throughout the year.  You're great!

101 reasons to move to crescent city ca: Crescent City Municipal Swimming Pool - Wow - 10/12/09 11:49 PM
The Crescent City/Fred Endert Municipal Swimming Pool just underwent a complete makeover and is it something to see.  Take a look:
The swimming pool has a salt water system that uses significantly less chlorine than old technology swimming pools. This type of pool is easier on the eyes and skin. 
This mural was painted by The Harbor Gallery.  It is truly stunning and adds just the right mood to the pool area.

The newly added water slide is available during most family and recreation swims. The Crescent City swimming pool and slide have handicap accessibility.

Mike Nolan, a fellow real estate agent in my office, loves to fish the off the Del Norte county and Curry county coastline.  Mike is a prolific fisherman and is recognized by many for his skill and knowledge regarding the sport.  I get to eat what he catches and am most grateful for his abilities.  Here is Mike with a ling cod.

Tolowa Dunes State Park in Pictures -
I know I have shared this walk with you before, but when I wrote the previous post, the lake was breaching into the ocean. Today, the sandbar is intact and we were able to walk around the lake a bit.  Our dog, Jack, had a wonderful time swimming in the lake, which is freshwater, and the walk is one of the most beautiful in Del Norte County, which is saying a lot because there are so many. 
The park takes in some of the finest wetlands habitat on California's northern coast. An ancient sand … (1 comments)

101 reasons to move to crescent city ca: Seacruise 2008 - You Should Have Been There - 10/12/08 10:43 PM
I had a great time yesterday at the annual Seacruise Car show in Crescent City at Beach Front Park.  There were about 400 entries, lots of delicious food, good music and fun.
This is a 1965 Cobra, one of my husbands personal favorites.  He drooled over this car for a few minutes and then joined the Chief of Police in drooling over another Cobra not far from this one.

1963 Stingray Corvette. The weather was delightful.  The ocean is a short distance on the other side of the structure in this photo.

101 reasons to move to crescent city ca: Chinook Salmon Fishing in California? Only on the Klamath River! - 09/13/08 03:48 PM
Frustrated Chinook salmon sport fisherman are flocking to Del Norte County and the mouth of the Klamath River.
Sacramento fishing guide, Bob Sparre, headed to Klamath with his fishing boat and 25 of his clients because his chances for work this year in the Central Valley ended with the collapse of the Sacramento River salmon population. The colapse led to the closure of the ocean commercial season along with the entire coast and limited fishing throughout the state.
Barbara Stillwell made the journey to Klamath because she can't fish the Sacramento River. 
"There's no fishing anywhere else," Stillwell said, along with the … (3 comments)

Hi Everyone.  Here is another entry in my series: 101 reasons to move to Del Norte County.  Undoubtably the Smith River is right up at the top of the list.
As residents of Del Norte County know, the river has many uses, kayaking, fishing, rafting, and of course jumping off rocks into the water.

And there I go.  Yippee.  The water isn't too cold because it is … (3 comments)

The Britt Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon is just a short car ride, 1 1/2 hours, from Crescent City and that's where I was this past weekend.
If you live on the North Coast and haven't been to the Britt Festival, it's worth the drive. Go check it out.

101 reasons to move to crescent city ca: Del Norte County, California's Hidden Gem - 07/14/08 07:00 PM
Del Norte County is undeniably California's hidden gem.  Why?
Most Californian's are not even aware that Del Norte (pronounced Del Nort) county even exists let alone that it is home to some of the most spectacular beauty in God's creation. 
Del Norte County is home to Fern Canyon, part of the many State and National Parks in this region. Its lush green beauty makes you think of prehistoric times.  You almost expect a dinosaur to come walking out of the greenery.
Why is Del Norte so green and lush?  We get about 70 inches of rain a year...which translates into NO … (7 comments)

Well...the long awaited number one reason to move to Del Norte County has at long last revealed itself. 
It came to me as I was cracking and eating God's gift to those of us that live on the coast.
We have been the very thankful recipients of crab three times in the last week.  I like it best cold in a cocktail, but it's great in soup, crab cakes, and however else you want to prepare these decapod crustaceans.

101 reasons to move to crescent city ca: The Unparalleled Beauty of Del Norte County - 10/04/07 12:18 AM

I showed an out of town client around yesterday. His last trip to Crescent City was in the early 60's and he didn't remember much.  He is considering a move here from San Diego, so he thought he would come up and check it out.
My client was amazed at how much beauty our area has to offer.  He kept saying he thought he was in Yosemite and that the homes here are very affordable compared to Southern California. 
I took him on a "three hour tour," just kidding, but we did drive around for about an hour and a half.  He was most regretful … (3 comments)
