Traveling along the freeway is always an adventure....cars that travel much faster and manage to weave in and out and around like a smooth dancer...amazing to watch. The day started out foggy but started to break as we left the city behind. Richmond Bridge has a toll ...$5 gets you over
Oil refineries on the other side
Carminy (GPS) took us on a scenic route from Cloverdale to Mendocino and on to Fort Bragg. So many wineries...and we managed to pass them all without stopping. Brent loved the drive as the road was very very curvy ...I mean very curvy...did I mention it was curvy? ....and then you come across a redwood park. It was so beautiful I forgot to use my outside voice and tell Brent to stop so I could take pics...
We finally arrived in Fort Bragg and tried to find a place to have lunch...not easy as it’s Sunday and only places open appeared to be fast food...yuk. So our stomachs took over and guided us to a tavern which totally shocked us. Inside they had their own beer on tap and a fine dining room. The food was pretty good with the exception of my steak which was all gristle. Our waitress was so accommodating and all was good.
We were beginning to fade so we thought we'd best start looking for a place to lay our heads. Came across the nicest place looking out over the ocean. Wow!

We quickly unpacked and went for walk down to the beach. Met a couple over their dogs...sooo cute...the lady was from Paradise. This is the town that was completely lost to the forest fire recently. She was lucky...one yr ago she had decided it was time to move out of Paradise...sold her house...which is now gone. Her angels were looking after her.
....and that’s a wrap 💖
