Driving down the coast next to the ocean, our truck and trailer are covered with sand and salt. We were able to get the truck washed today - I knew a GMC could look really good! The 5th wheel will have to wait until after SF and we move away from the ocean.
After lunch, Arda and I crossed off another item on our "to do" list... horseback riding on the beach! We went to the Ricochet Riding Stables just north of Fort Bragg where we went on a 1.5 hour beach-ride. It was a nose-to-tail ride but we knew that going in. For a mere $100 more, we could have had a private ride which would have been nicer for me as we would have trotted & galloped but Arda wasn't terrible comfortable with this so we just enjoyed our group ride.
After our ride we stopped at the Kerichecher State Park where we walked the boardwalk. The ocean is relentless as the waves just keep coming and pounding the shoreline. We saw some of the biggest waves we've seen yet... 10' - 12'. Just awesome!
We also watched a half-dozen or so seals/sea lions (we couldn't tell from where we were) frolic in ocean as the waves crashed around them.
Another thing that is really strange for us is the fog. It has been coming and going all day long. You can actually see it coming, going overland, and then all of a sudden, the sun is out. Apparently this is common when the temperatures on the other side of the mountains are in the high 90's or 100's... which they are.
Tomorrow we move on to ??? Will have to let you know as we don't know yet. All we know is that on Tuesday we are supposed to be in SF which is about 100 miles away. I can see a couple more long driving days coming up - HA!
Until next time, keep your loops open!
