Many Thanks to Everyone

So the day has come and gone, and Peter and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. Thank you to everyone that came and helped make our day wonderful. We'll post some pictures when we return from our honeymoon in Belize

Weather Report

For those of you traveling to Humboldt Co. from outside the area, some words of advice on our weather:

It is cool here year-round, and often foggy or misty. Don't leave home without a light sweater or the equivalent.

It often rains, although normally not much in August (fingers crossed).

A "hot" day will see high temperatures of 70 for areas near the coast, hotter inland. It is always cool in the shade, and summer nighttime low temperatures are ~50F.

Registry

Gifts are not necessary, we are very fortunate to have everything that we need. Our apartment is very small and cannot accommodate much more. If you would like to give us a gift a contribution to our honeymoon fund would be greatly appreciated.

Leaves of Three, Let it Be: Beware of Poison Oak

For all of you folks from back East, or just generally unfamiliar, this is what poison oak looks like. There are areas in Pamplin Grove crawling with it, mostly along paths away from the main wedding area leading to the river. Take a close look, it can be green or reddish often with an oily look to it.

Wedding Weekend Schedule (Tentative and Evolving)

Where to Stay Locally

Camping:

3 nights of free camping are included with your wedding invitation! Pamplin Grove Park has 10 drive-up group campsites that each accommodate 10-15 people and some space for away-from-car camping. We've reserved the Grove for the Friday-Saturday-Sunday nights of our wedding weekend.
