COASTING IN MENDOCINO

It's been a few days since we had real internet and there is a lot of catching up to do.  We are on the Mendocino Coast.  It is beautiful here but we have had some issues.  First of all we had to take the most winding, back and forth road in the whole world. Highway 20 from Willits to the coast was so curvy that we never went any faster than 20 miles per hour the whole way, and it took forever to get to our RV Park. When we finally pulled in, all three of us hated the place. We were packed in like sardines and it was just a dirt lot with hook ups, and no cell or internet at all. It was close to the ocean, but the sun didn't come out until late in the afternoon.

The next day Jim and Kathe went to the botanical garden in Fort Bragg which was very large and on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. On the way back home they found us a much better place to stay. We moved this morning and are now staying in the Pomo Campground.  It's much nicer and we have a huge site that backs up into the pine trees.  I don't know if it was the horrible drive up here,  but I've been under the weather since we got to this town. Today I spent the morning at the vet and now I have to take some really bad tasting medicine.  I hope I feel better tomorrow or I'll have to go back to the vet again.

While I was resting this afternoon Kathe and Jim went wine tasting in the Anderson Valley and tasted some really great Pinot Noirs. The drive there was spectacular, through the giant Navarro Redwoods on highway 128.
