Coast Motel Fort Bragg

... .  But then again, even the fog is pretty. There is not too much new except for the photos, since I am holed up in a motel in Fort Bragg, CA.  I had a fender bender on Main Street in Ft Bragg and had to take the RV to a local body shop to ...

Okay, we have officially gone soft. We passed maybe 20 State Park campgrounds between Crescent City and Fort Bragg, and not once did we feel compelled to drive off the road and enquire about a tent site. We have San Diego in our sights, and even if ...

... A huge black crow was doing his best to drag the hare off the road, and making a meal of it. At the end of the day we had travelled about 270 kilometers then rested in Fort Bragg, where the motel room at Coast Inn and Spa, was old and plain but cosy ...

... time. Switchback deluxe time. I was delighted as the temp dropped back to high 60s and we rolled along the no barriers road to Fort Bragg. The Beachcomber is in a great spot. Just walk behind it to the long boardwalk then descend to the beach, or ...

... more hours stopping a few times to take some beautiful pictures and the token "jump" shots.  Now we're in Fort Bragg in Mendocino County staying at the Super 8 Motel.. (for cheap as beans! and actually pretty nice. Fridge for beer. YES) and in a few ...

... stuff. 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 ...

... tent. We then headed for the town and found out all about its history as a logging town for redwoods. The road outside our motel yesterday was initially a rail track and then later a logging road. There is a huge log outside the guest-house museum that ...

... As I said when the sun came out so did the wind and I froze. Good thing I had reserved a room at motel that had a hot tub in it. The coast line is really beautiful but to travel 180 miles it took me a little over 4 hours. Tomorrow I take the train ...

... the most part it clings to either cliff tops or hill sides with the pacific never more than 50 yards away. We stopped at Fort Bragg and Mendocino although neither had much to offer so carried on, on our way, funnily enough towards Manchester. Never ...

... motels/condos - but more expensive than we'd set our budget on. We were hoping to find a few more places like Lincoln City or Fort Bragg - but nope....if you want a "get-away-from-it-all" holiday with nothing to do other than walk the beach then 50-100 ...

... drove south, through more redwood forest to the coastal town of Fort Bragg where we had thought that we would stay the night. But Fort Bragg was not a very inspiring place - much of it was closed up and deserted, possibly because it was a Sunday evening. ...

... a two lane road lined with Giant Redwoods - again, you feel soooo small. It got dark and we pushed onto Fort Bragg taking another foresty windy road to the coast and finally arrived about 9.30. We found a room in the Chelsea Inn (most motels on the West ...

... least now the rain had cleared up a little. But the drive quickly bcaeme somewhat monotonous. I was glad when I finally arrived at Fort Bragg. Except it was rubbish. Downtown consisted of one block of closed cafés which is no good for a hungry bloke on ...

... picking up when we got to the coast a little farther up the road (and I do mean a little... just a few miles north of Fort Bragg).  So, we stopped for just a couple pictures.... Once again, we hit it just right for the tide.  Most of ...

... a "shortcut". Oh my oh my....2 hours later and a tank gas I made it back to the main Hwy. 1. Third choice was a "freesite" at Fort Bragg called Camp One. It was getting late so I knew I might be in trouble getting a spot. Sure enough when I arrived all ...
