“Summer means
happy times and
good sunshine.”
Brian Wilson
This is not my usual blog post. Today, I had the unexpected opportunity to visit Redwood Rest Resort, now simply known as Redwood Resort, in Boulder Creek, California. It was at this venue that my family enjoyed a number of summer vacations in the early 1960’s. At that time, the resort was a cabin-camping experience, though, if I recall correctly, there was an area for camping trailers, too. Several of my parents’ friends, along with their children, would take their summer vacations at the same time we did, so there were five or six families, all with multiple children, enjoying the facilities.
Here are a few photos from then… and today.

Such wonderful memories of times with lifelong friends. With gratitude to our parents who endured our energy and antics throughout the times we spent at Redwood Rest Resort.
