How about some free food!    If you're tired of paying way too much for half a crab in a highly average restaurant, why not just go get your own fresh Dungeness crab right out of the ocean? 

From Kamp Klamath, in Klamath, California, it's a beautiful 20 mile drive by the ocean and through the redwoods to Crescent City.  On our way to visit the lighthouse, ...

Lucy was headed toward the ocean yesterday and we were thrilled that she was going in the right direction, but her timing wasn't the best.   While the river was full and vibrant when she entered to raise her calf, after six weeks, the river has become more shallow, exposing the riverbeds and surprise sandbars mid river. 

So it is with a sad heart that I have to report that during the night, Lucy got caught on one of thos...
