Exploring A Cave & Hallucinating A Wave
... the coast would add a lot of time to our trip, we decided to break up the trip back to Fresno by spending the night in Fort Bragg, California. As we had learned from the previous year, the best way to get to the coast from Ashland was to go north ...
Ahhhh, THIS Is More Like It!
Sunday morning we packed up and headed north on US101 for the 120 mile journey to Fort Bragg. Fort Bragg is located on the coast where it will be at least 20 to 30 degrees cooler than the almost 90 degree weather here. We will transition to Highway 128 in ...
Salty Tasty Pig Parts: Mendocino County, CA

A lazy day getting kinda bored but making the best
MJ got up circa 9am and read an excellent book about a guy and his family taking a Bill Bryson journey type thing along the Union Pacific rail route between Omaha and SF. It's kinda like my blog but has much more in it about American history. Chrissie ...

I Loathe Fayetteville
I can't stand this place. I don't like going here at all. Interesting Story: 1. I did get pumped up somehow to a NICE room. It was basically an apartment. ...
Back to the coast

Northern California
We woke up in the hot, dry, Napa Valley and fell asleep in the cool, coastal Mendocino area (more specifically Fort Bragg). It was pretty uneventful, but undoubtably beautiful. It's like you're in the quaint California countryside, and then all of a ...
Fort Bragg
... California Coast. Don't know what I expected but it was not that <g>. I'd arranged to stay at the Super 8 in Fort Bragg and as I’d arrived a bit early, took myself out to the McKerricher State Park and walked along the dunes and sand ...
Realization of a Dream
... it worse I had a pair of earplugs in my pocket but I thought it would be bad form to put them in. In the afternoon, I found Fort Bragg's beach and it was wonderful. The sky was bright blue, the sun shining, there was a gentle breeze and not too cold. I ...
L'avenue des géants
On a quitté Sébastopol mardi matin pour se balader à Point Reyes national park, le long de la faille de San Andreas. Il n'y a en fait rien de très visible, à part une cloture qui se retrouve coupée en 2 (à 16 pieds d'écart soit presque 5 ...
Exit San Francisco
Today I left San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge. Yesterday I went over on the bus but today I rode over it on my bike. The sun shone over downtown SF today while on the bridge you couldn't even see the top of the towers the fog was so bad. This was ...
Sleeping in the Car...
3/04 Today, Rachel and I drove to Fort Bragg. We hiked on a beach and observed seals bathing in the sun. Camping in the area costs $35 and the cheapest motel costs $50, so we decided to experiment with sleeping in the car for a change. To kill time at ...
Drive along the coast (Highway 1)
... the towns. So we drive a couple hours out of our way to get to this coastal town I have heard so much about. Fort Bragg is not very impressive. Most of the town if away from the coast and kind of industrial looking. There was nothing ...
Exploring the local towns

Skip Mendocino and Ft Bragg instead
... the better of us and so we ended up going to Jack in the Box for lunch (yikes!). The chicken sandwiches were decent (Leigh's was better) but the curly fries were good. We decided to stop in Ft Bragg for some coffee, looking around and replanning the day. ...
MJ buys a new hat and we see more redwoods
... The road suddenly comes out looking straight out over the Pacific and then does a 90left and we hugged the coast until we reached Fort Bragg - fantastic views but we were beat. We pulled into the third motel we saw on the beach and managed to snaffle ...
Arriving at the coast
... on the rocks. The girls went down tonight and also some large jelly fish. We are close to many small towns-the closest being Fort Bragg which has many amenities-no Walmart or big malls though. There is a Starbucks! Tomorrow we plan a drive down the ...
Camping in Tolerable Temperatures!
We drove into Fort Bragg and popped into the North Coast brewing company for a quick taste, another recommendation. The beer here was really lovely though a couple were Belgian type beers and too strong for me! The funniest thing was that we decided to be ...
