Mendocino Christmas to Ski the Tetons

Recovery - Anderson Valley and Russian Gulch

I met Kristen in Ukiah and we spent a good 24 hours in Mendocino County. Went for a bike and hike in Russian Gulch State Park, tasted some Sharffen Berger sparkling wine in Anderson Valley, and finished the day off eating corned beef and cabbage at the annual Anderson Valley Senior Center fundraiser in Boonville. Good times.



A bike rack in the backcountry. How cool/weird is that?













Redwood Trillium.

Dick's Place

The ONLY bar in Mendocino. And it is a good one.

Mendocino Coast Picnicking

The Garcia River.





Our first picnic spot of the day. Above the Garcia river with a view to Point Arena and the Pacific.

Off to Anchor Bay

I heard somebody call this the Mendo-noma coast.


Our residence for the weekend - the "Treehouse for 2". This is the backyard ocean view. (Taken from the hot tub).
