I missed the hike again this week... I was up in Fort Bragg watching Sus being interviewed for Coastal Currents local cable tv show.
The first picture shows where we took a wrong turn, the second the group surveying the view from the bench, and finally down on the bluff. On this hike we earned our potluck lunch which we had in the redwoods on the Vasavada's deck. Their garden is really lovely but after the last uphill stretch we were ready to cool off in the shade. The potluck was delicious with an abundance of fresh fruit and other good things.
