We got away. Last minute dash. Took off up the coast. We wanted to do what our customers do. Camp in the van. So we did. Mendocino county north of San Francisco has some of the most amazing countryside in the world. Mysterious, enchanting and plain old terrific.
We stayed at MacKerricher State Park which is has over 10 miles of ocean coastline. The camping arrangements are very private and pretty reasonable for vans at $20 a van. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=436
The next day we bootscooted via the park office and received some trusty advice from Tom the trusty park ranger. He told of us a place on route 128 called Hendley woods. This is an old growth Redwood Forest. Some of these guys top out at 300 ft. Absolutely amazing. It makes me help understand the world a little better when you stand next to one these majestic giants. These trees have been around for 1500 years or more. So much has gone on in their lives. Amazing trees. It is a must see. Route 128 to Boonville from the coast at mile marker 18.
The photos do not do them justice.
Back to San Francisco until the next time we can get away.
Last note. Big shout out goes to Anne. You made our day. Let us know when you want to book.
Cheers
Nick
