San Francisco Bound

    After a nice break from the road, we got back on the trail on Rt. 1 along the California coast.  Mendocino County had amazing rocky bluffs on the ocean, and always a cool breeze.  Down in Sonoma County more beautiful coastline, until we ended up in Marin County at a big mountain on the sea just north of San Francisco.

Just a little further...
A lot of this was seen along the drive on Rt. 1
There are flowers everywhere!
Pt. Arena lighthouse by Manchester.
Bush with a nice haircut.
We saw a few surfers...
Standing by the sea.
This was a nice beach we caught some sun at.
Camo man blending in.
Flowers atop a pillar growing out of sea bird guano.
Adam at the edge of the world.
The water is super cold, so we did not swim, just looked.
Shadow man makes a fist.
Big driftwood.
Cool building that offered food and lodging.  We just liked the looks of it.  Did not stay.
A small chapel.
Sunset in the Golden State.
A familiar sight; barns and fields with sun rising.  Only difference is if you turn around there is the ocean.
Sun sinking into the ocean.
Great Blue Heron
Deer, wow, so amazing!
Coyote on the rocks.
Russian River by a little town called Jenner.
Bald Eagle
Seals lining the banks.
Mule Deer

 All of these animals we saw one early morning.  The next day we visited Point Reyes National Seashore.  You drive out a big peninsula to one of the windiest points on the Pacific coast.

Wind over horse.

    Out on the peninsula were cattle ranches, and out on the point a lighthouse, but it was too foggy to see.

People in San Francisco have their heads in a cloud!
Brotherly love!
Thanks Adam for joining the Jomo tour.
I will miss you when you leave San Fran, back to the amazing hills of West Virginia.
