Yes, yes, I know. I have posted about the Mendocino Botanical Gardens before. But, it’s sort of become my muse. (If I may humbly use that term.) Right about the time I think I might start get tired of the place I go back and fall in love all over again. We spent a four-day … Continue reading Memorial Day Mendocino Botanical Gardens
While visiting Mendocino last weekend we finally stopped by the Mendocino/Fort Bragg Guest House Museum. It was a short and cute little museum. But, the fun part was the large redwood stump out front displaying rings from almost Pre-Christian times. We don’t see many trees this large anymore outside of the State Parks that care … Continue reading Mendocino Guest House Inn
A week late but here I am. For Memorial Day we bombed up to Mendocino, Bulldog and trailer in tow. Our favorite site at MacKerricker State Park was full so we found a superb little private campground within walking distance feeling lucky we found anything at all. The weather was perfect, about 70 degrees all weekend, … Continue reading Memorial Day Mendocino
Fall in Mendocino means mushrooms. Mendocino is surrounded by ocean, redwoods, and hills therefore the fall colors do not blaze as brightly here as they do on the drive through the wine country to get there from Sacramento. My husband and I dream of owning property here one day. But, in the meantime it really … Continue reading Mendocino in the Fall
Having eaten a beautiful and delicious mushroom meal at the Stanford Inn to celebrate our anniversary and the Mendocino Mushroom festival we had one more thing to do before leaving… The day prior Eric and I had collected some hedgehog and chantarelle mushrooms on our guided mushroom walk. I cleaned the mushrooms as best I … Continue reading Edible Mushrooms – Mendocino Mushroom Festival
We made reservations Friday night at the Stanford in for the Mushroom dinner. It did not disappoint. The Stanford Inn is a Vegan restaurant so having a five course mushroom dinner seems apropos. The photos are a little dark because the room was a little dark. But, please enjoy the menu, the mushroom “bacon” flat … Continue reading Mendocino Mushroom Festival Part Two – Stanford Inn Mushroom Dinner
It’s no secret Mendocino is special to me. Eric and I took our first real camping trip to MacKericher State Park, my favorite place to camp in all of California. And he and I got married in Mendocino. Mendocino is also home to the best baguette in California at Cafe Beaujolais! 🙂 We go back … Continue reading Mendocino Mushroom Festival – Day one
I really enjoy camping up on the coast above Mendocino and Fort Bragg. One of my favorite things to do in the late summer early fall is to visit the Fort Bragg Botanical Gardens because the Dahlias are in bloom! The entire grounds are magnificent but the Dahlias are my favorite. I didn’t even know … Continue reading Flower Power – Mendocino Botanical Garden
Welcome to my favorite California State Park, MacKerricher State Park , located north of Mendocino, California. I can’t say enough about this gorgeous beachside park. Seals, tide pools, rock arches, beaches, whales if you are lucky, seasonal mushrooms, trails, fresh water lake, camping, what more can one ask for? Do you have a park or … Continue reading MacKerricher State Park, Northern California
Otis R. Johnson Wilderness Park was a lovely surprise. I took the family to the Fort Bragg/Mendocino area for the beaches. The first few days we were there the wind was so bad we were being legitimately sand blasted on the beach so we decided to take refuge inland a bit on some short hikes. … Continue reading Otis R. Johnson Wilderness Park, Fort Bragg California
