Sea Ranch cottages

We just arrived home yesterday from our latest trip to the Mendocino coast near Fort Bragg, and this morning Google Photos prodded me with memories of an earlier visit, just a bit farther south. It was September 2015, and we were staying at the Ocean Cove Lodge in Sonoma County, a great little spot located between Salt Point to the north and Fort Ross and Timber Cove to the south. There are just so many beautiful places to hike along this part of the coast! And there are also some great fishing spots, although maybe not as many are available nowadays because of Marine Protected Areas. Even so, no matter how much I love exploring Mendocino and points north, the Sonoma coast and all its memories will always hold a special place in my heart.
