Fort Bragg Holiday

Being spontaneous can sometimes offer amazing adventures, and that's just what we decided to do on a mid-week trip to Fort Bragg on the coast. You might think finding a spot virtually impossible during summer months ... Well, avoiding the weekend and booking mid-week for three nights wasn't an issue. We had our pick of six different sites, some full-hookups. We chose water and power only for $66/night since our tank capacity will easily cover 4 to 5 days.

Our campsite and first visitor:

We chose Fort Bragg as it is the perfect spot to go exploring from; lots to see and do in the area. Not only is the downtown a great place to poke in/out of the many shops, but there is a museum, glass beach, and one of the best Botanical Gardens on the west coast, just 2 miles south of town. Drive another 10 minutes and you'll find the little seacoast town of Mendocino ... a touch of Carmel on the North coast.

These people sleep-in here and most shops don't open until 11am. So, we are just relaxing in the RV and watching blue sky roll in and out, overtaking the marine layer. Nice and cool, about 52 deg and headed for 65.

Anyway, a quick ride through town yesterday after arrival to check that our favorite Italian restaurant was still there ... it was! Also, this sign was an unusual find as I thought Radio Shack was long gone. I may have to stop in and see what they have before we leave.

So, this should get you started with the Blog ... more to come after today's excursion.
