I have been camping for years now near Bodega Bay, California in the Sonoma Coast State Park area. Just north of that up the famed California Highway 1 is a little seaside town called Jenner. Some friends bought a small piece of property and are building a “tiny home” on it. They recently invited us up for a visit and we took them up on it. The drive from Sacramento took us through Santa Rosa and along the Russian River along Hwy 166 until the road dead ends in to the coast. From there you head north on a dizzyingly windy road past Jenner towards Stillwater Cove on Hwy 1. Mother Nature was kind to us providing us with a glorious view of the ocean and the rocky coastline saving her fog and haze for another day. Once we made it to the property we set out for a brisk fern lined walk through the oaks and redwoods mushroom spotting along the way.
Friends, its days like this that remind me why I live in California.

I can see why your friends want to live there. Waking up every morning from the tiny house to nature and the soothing sound of the sea. Beautiful photo shots!

As I look out my window at the massive piles of snow building up since yesterday, I really needed a post like this. California looks awesome right about now.

It is pretty epic in my end of the world at the moment. However, it looks like El Nino will be back for round two this month. We will be grateful for the water and the snow pack. But, for the moment, it is glorious and I’ll take it! When are you coming out West? You would love it here.

A lot of my friends and some family members go to Cali every year at this time, but I haven’t made any immediate plans. For 2016 I think I’m as booked up for travel as I could be, perhaps next winter??

Oh wow, I love the mushroom ! Here it’s more common to find them in autumn rather than in the spring time.

Same here. But, on the coast it is often anytime we have a wet spell through the winter.

Such a lovely “country”. (Green with envy) 😉
I can smell the peculiar fragrance of the undergrowth in the woods…
Thanks for taking us on this trip.
Bye
