Ferndale

We always enjoy a visit to Ferndale while staying in Eureka. I was disappointed that the quilt shop is no longer here (if you are keeping track, that makes two for two that are no longer around), but it was still fun to wander the Victorian town.

One of the many very nicely kept homes (look at that hedge--it could be made of cement, it is so precisely trimmed).

And another

No, Honey, the B and B is not Bentley and Birenbaum...

The Gingerbread Mansion is a bed and breakfast. If we didn't have our trailer it might be fun to spend a night here.

We learned that Guy Fieri, of the program, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," was raised in Ferndale. A few months ago he was finally able to work a visit into his schedule. He not onlly featured some restaurants from Ferndale on his show, but the cheese factory from Loleta and some restaurants in Eureka (I don't know if those have aired or not). This newspaper also mentioned some of the movies that have been made in this picturesque town, including one we really liked with Jim Carrey, "The Majestic."
