Stone Lagoon | Trinidad, California

Stone Lagoon was strangely quiet: elk and dogs slept while rusting corpses of pickup trucks basked in fog. An ominous thought bubbled up to the surface: California's version of "Deliverance"?

Humboldt county is the weed capital of the USA, so Stone Lagoon is a fitting name. However, I was expecting weed tokers, new age hippies and tree huggers, not a rustic tumble down nook in the road with rednecks and a trailer park. Nevertheless, this is photogenic tourist traps and I enjoyed squeezing that shutter button.
