Tuesday
morning (the 15th) we left Pleasanton, heading for the west coast, for
California Highway 1.
We expected a short move but ran into problems with finding a campground. They were fully booked.
And that in the middle of the week! We called quite a few. One didn’t answer the phone, so we went there. It was lucky that they didn’t answer, because if they had we had probably booked a space.
What a dump (skodsted)!! It would have been the worst place we would have stayed at so far.
Eventually we found a nice and quiet campground in Bodega Bay. Right on the Pacific coast.
It ended up with a 100 miles (160 km) move, but because of the campsite problem it took us a bit longer than usual.

We spend the afternoon driving north on California Highway 1. We expected, from what we have heard and read, that it would be a nice drive. But again, what we saw was way above expectations.
The pictures speak for themselves:
We were amazed by the color of the water, the play of light on it, the waves,...
It was made more special because there were so many wild flowers. Beautiful!

In the evening we walked from our campsite down to the beach to watch the sunset.
It was kind of cloudy, but that actually made it more spectacular.

Mary - Do you remember that Bodega Bay is the town in "The Birds"??
ReplyDeleteWatch for birds lined up on the telephone wires!!!
Yes. We were talking about mentioning that on the blog, but want to get a picture of some birds.
ReplyDeleteI was looking on a map of CA to see exactly where Bodega Bay is, Beautiful area!! And while I was looking, I also happened across Lassen National Forest!! Just East of Redding. You may need to check that out just because!!
ReplyDeleteAs you will see from our latest blog, we did go to Mt. Lassen. We already had it planned, but it is nice, you are keeping an eye open for things for us to see. We are always open to suggestions.
