Day 2
Woke up bright and early and walked down to the local market to get food for Lindy and I. She waited patiently outside the store while I grabbed a few things. Walked back to the motel we stayed and talked to our neighbors for the evening. They had been living in the motel and by chance had a can opener for the canned food i got Lindy.
Got packed up and headed up the coast. Stopped in a couple places along the way but by far my favorites were the Salt Point State Park and the turn off that had fields of succulents growing. I thought Salt Point State Park was only the grassy field I originally saw but hiking in a bit I discovered massive stone structures and water crashing into them. I spent about 2 hours here wandering around.
Headed up to Mendocino and played around on the beach a bit, drove into town and grabbed lunch at a small taquiera. While it seems like a fun town, we still had 6 hours of driving left.
The terrain started to change a ton at this point and we were driving on winding roads that snaked thru forests and mountains. It was your quintessential Nor Cal/PNW forest roads. We also drove thru a tree!! I havent seen one of these since I was a child so of course we had to stop there.
Our trip ended passing over into Oregon and checking into a hotel in Gold Beach.
