Eureka, I found another BMX track!






Another day of twisty, turny roads along Hwy 101 on the coast.













Finally, we made it to our next destination.... Eureka, California. We checked into the KOA nearby and went to the Fairgrounds for some Friday night local racing. We missed registration
by 15 minutes so we had to be spectators for the night.  Saturday morning was a Race for Life event at Redwood Empire BMX. The boys all did well placing 1st and 2nd in their mains. Sunday was a state race qualifier and they all finished with 2nd places in the main events. 





































The KOA campground was really nice and had lots of fun activities for the kids. They had mini golf, a sock hop, hay ride, ice cream social, pancake breakfast, etc. It was nice to relax a bit after a long day of racing.

Just a bit of information for anyone interested in visiting Eureka. It is in Humboldt County in Northern California which is part of the Emerald Triangle. This is where cannabis has been grown for about five decades. Everyone that lives in these counties is affected directly or indirectly by the marijuana business.
