The weather this morning was grey and threatening but it wasn’t raining. I decided to hit some new places and let the weather decide how far we got.
The first new place was an old dump. Until around 1973 (the year we were married) the area of beach we went to was a dump. They evidently just backed up the trucks to the beach and dumped everything into the pacific. Now, after years of cleansing by the ocean all that remains in the sand shells and pebbles are pieces of sea glass. No sharp edges any more. It’s obvious that many beer bottles were dumped, some coke bottles and maybe some pepto bismol and vicks vapo rub jars. Most of the glass is colorless. Here are some close ups of the beach.
Next we went to Russian Gultch State Park. It has nice pacific headlands and a bridge to add interest. Too bad it wasn’t sunny. Here are some pictures.
We lunched in FT Bragg at a small sandwich shop while conversing with a tourist couple from Colorado who were traveling with 1 of their 4 Border Collies. After lunch we headed north, up the coast to the Pacific Star Winery. The winery is built on a beautiful piece of pacific headlands. Their view is captivating with big waves washing over large flat rocks. I could have sat there and watched the waves all day.
We had a nice wine tasting with our personal pourer. (we were the only ones there) We bought a pair of wine glasses for souvenirs.
Her are some pictures of the winery grounds.
Tomorrow, once again we check the weather and go.
