The house sits along Loleta Avenue and overlooks the Eel River flood plain to the south. You can see our old dairy down the street on the right.
If someone offered me any place in town in which to live - this would be my home. The woman entering the house moved here with her husband two years ago. Like me - they simply came through Loleta while traveling and fell in love with the place. They have my best wishes.
[notebook]: remember that beat-up looking house from our earlier series - the one with the dangling door lamps? We go back to visit there tomorrow...

@Lorraine: Lorraine - you are a treasure. At least now I know that you read your messages. I promise - no more name calling of any kind...
@Thomas Griffioen: I would love to see the interior of this place-you can see that the beams extend through the house. This might make sense for a mountain home that could get large amounts of snow on the roof - but being 6 km from the Pacific - this place would see very little snow and ice.
@dogilicious: My guess is until this area ceases to experience 60+ inches of rain a year - we shouldn't expect too much of a land rush.
@willow: Shooting in the rain is one of my most favorite things to do.
( don't tell anyone - but starting next week we will explore some of the surrounding countryside )
@chrissy: thanks for the narrative nod.
@John Maslowski: A shingle roof it is. Were it not for the odd shape and those fascinating beams - it would be a singularly unspectacular little house. It has a splendid view. I just know next time I'm in the neighborhood - I'll bring the resident couple a print - and use it to try and gain entry.
@Magda: Magda - thanks for the in depth look you've given my portfolio - it is greatly appreciated. And cheers!
