More of Highway 1

As we worked our way north on highway 1 we next came to the Point Reyes National Lakeshore.   This is a huge area along the coast, but also extending inland.   Our hope was to drive to the westernmost point and view the lighthouse there.   Unfortunately, it was closed on Thursday, so we opted to hike to an area which has been restored to resemble what it looked like when the native Miwok people who lived there.   Bob is peeking into a replica of their dwellings.

 The next pic is just a representation of the wild and beautiful California coast.   We passed wild remote areas, areas that were obviously surfer haunts, and peaceful little bays.   The sun sparkling off the water was quite something and we were glad it actually even showed up on our photo.

We drove as far north as Jenner, CA and then headed inland along the famous Russian River.   Our destination was an eclectic little town called Guerneville.

The picture of Bob at the left is taken over an old bridge in Guerneville.   The Russian River is in the background.   Our short visit there was fun as they were having a farmer's market and live band in the town square.

Our lodging in Guerneville was a charming little place made up of individual cottages.   Karen and Kenn, and John and Rhonda will know what we mean when we say it reminded us of the place we stayed in Fredericksburg.
They even had a campfire for us in the evening.   We went to bed relaxed and anxious for our first day in the wine country of California.

Cheers,

Bob and Debbie
