Still Hanging In Orick

Having a good time building this new site for Hawg Wild. He wants a bunch of extra stuff on it that will be fun to build and interesting to check back in on. A video drinking contest will be the next add on for his site. Lots of custom built to order type scripts to control his site. So now waiting on a domain transfer to propagate for next 12 hours or so. Then we’ll fine tune his new site, get new graphics on it and such. In the mean time Manny is having fun playing with the pig they have here. They’re getting it fat for a New Years pig roast. Sounds awesome! I haven’t had a good pig roast since one of the Krook kids wedding reception at Krook’s camp on the basin. That was a long time ago! I’ve also been enjoying exploring the coastal cliffs and the big ass f*cking trees here. Right now looks like I’ll still be here till mid week. Then I’ll continue my trek north. Update more soon.. peace

Small Delay

Owner of the local bar wants me to make a website for his bar. So I accepted and will be staying in the Orick area for a few days till I can complete all the details he wants for his new site. T-shirt sales, calendar of events, and a easy to use for dummies CMS system which I’ve been good at building in recent times. I’ve already created a template for his new site and will be building the database for its functionality in the next couple days. To plug his new domain it is GetHawgWild.com. I will be building his new site offline then uploading the data once complete. This transaction includes free food, free beer, and cash! Not a bad deal! Talk again soon. Peace

Great Days

After the police dropped me off and I had a chance to get online, I hit the ramp again with the same Arcata sign. I sat on the ramp for maybe 10 minutes before a Jeep pulled up and honked to take the ride. I walked up to the Jeep and they guy inside said “Hey HitchHiker from Michigan, get in”, it was the police officer that had picked me up earlier while working. Well now he was off work and gave me another ride(off the books). Even though it was only a short distance it ended up being a great location that he dropped me off. It was where 20 east and 101 meet. I sat there again for only a 15 minute or so stint, flying my Arcata sign before a couple of college students from Arcata picked me up. You guessed it! They got me all the way to Arcata. By the time I got done hanging with them in Arcata it was time to look for a place to crash for the night. I hiked about 3 miles out of town before I found a spot that was away from the local hobos and tramps that seemed to be very agro. I had a good night sleep but was woke up by RAIN!!! HOLY SHIT… the last time I saw anything fall out of the sky was on June 10th when it was snowing up in the Tetons in Wyoming. So I packed up wet and walked back into town. It was the first day of college and high school in Arcata so it was very busy. I quickly went to the ramp and sat there for about 2 hours before I got a ride into Orick. I’m currently in Orick at a bar called Hawg Wild. They have wifi, cheap beer, and a river near by. After 3 beers I feel I’ll be staying here for the night!! Beautiful area with the redwoods surrounding and plenty of friendly folks to chat with. I’ll write more later. peace
