Overlookin'

Just left Redwoods National Park and heading down the coast. Where to? The night before I overheard someone talkabout Mendocino being the town the modeled Murder She Wrote's Cabot Cove after...hmmm

Kodiak Chillin'

Its hard not to dive into the relaxed California mentality with views like these.

Off The Side

No big deal. Gorgeous view just off the side of the road. Like its nothing.

Gentle and Tough

The gentle breeze waved these plant growing plants. A simple contrast against the rough and jagged sea cliffs

Sea Spires

Reminds me of my time on the Olympic Coast.

Eye Spy

I see you!

Photographer Jeep

Kodiak takes a decent portrait picture.

Jessica Fletcher's Residence

All those years of watching Murder She Wrote while I was sick. Never thought I'd be in "Cabot Cove"

The Blair House

So Jessica F doesn't actually live here. Duh.

Open Door Policy

I guess Mendocino isn't too well known for its high crime.

Alone with Smoke

The young man and the sea.

Easy Streets

The town of Mendocino is small and quaint. I can see why they wanted to make it the backdrop for Murder She Wrote.

Tall and Narrow

Building up rather than building out.

With The Grain

Off in the near distance you can see the cove...Cabot Cove.

Outskirts

Mendocino is so small. It only took a few paces before I was on my own treking through the outskirts.

Worn Wooden Seat

The sea has a way of making wood look withered. A throne fit for a king no doubt

Hole In The Wall

Was tide high enough for me to paddle through there on an inflatable kayak?

Mendocino Coast

Tucked away from the harsh ocean, Mendocino has the peaceful cove all for itself.

The Cove

The sea cliff can be seen straight through.

Low Tide Warning

Well currently there was no way through that hole...lets wait till the tide rises.

Criss Crossing

Choose your own way down to the cove.

My Way

A rustic stairwell leads curious explorers to the base of the cove. A quiet retreat.

Seagull's Feifdom

He was the king of his own castle.

Gull Decor

Judging by the decor of this rock, I'm guessing this bird has had a few guests recently visit.
