Our Favorite Secret Spot in Mendocino

This was a tough find. Signal was bouncing us all over, and there were plenty of places to check. Eventually we made the find. TFTC.

A quick find along our way. That Sea Ranch place is suprisingly big! It just went on and on and on. TFTC.

I love the old cemetaries! This one was especially overgrown and neglected. People have been living along this coast for a long time, haven't they? TFTC.

So close, yet so far

On our way up the coast, we chanced up on this doozie! What a fun adventure! All in all, I'm a bit suprised with made it out and back without incident. Well, almost! I did put my hand smack in the middle of a bunch of poison oak during the rope climb, and suffered the consequences of that mistake! A small price to pay for an exciting scramble! Thanks for leading the way!

Troop 333 Salmon Creek

A good place to stop and stretch the legs. With today's fog, we got all wet during the hunt. Each bush we touched caused a shower of heavy drops. Thanks!

Heading for the coast, we stopped to find this cache. It didn't remind me of Star Wars at all, but I appreciated your cache description. Thanks!

I took care of the caching business while mrs303 tried to make friends with the cows. I had more sucess than she did. That was some very suspicious livestock! TFTC.

Nothing too interesting going on at the cache site, but we took your advice and spent some time on the pier. Now that was interesting! Thanks for getting us to this place! Very cool.

We were tempted to phone it in, but the fines for improper usage seemed pretty stiff. TFTC.

On Shaky Ground

We passed on paying $7 to see Ft. Ross, and decided to hunt for this cache instead. Beautiful trees! Of course the redwoods are impressive, but we liked the huge bay laurel as well. TFTC!

Portuguese Beach

Our first opportunity to walk on the sand since hitting the coast. A really pretty beach! TFTC.

Stop for the Sea Lions and Pelicans

After a great sandwich for lunch in Jenner, we made a quick stop for this cache. Plenty of sea lions lounging on the river bank, but no pelicans. We watched a couple of hikers approach from the south, but they kept a respectful distance. TFTC!

Glass Beach

We were interested in this beach, but disappointed to discover that the cache was likely missing. After contacting the cache owner and getting his permission, we have replaced the cache. Future finders, please re-hide the cache carefully with rocks. What a cool spot. It's sort of sad realizing that people would dump trash in such a beautiful location, but with a hopeful conclusion and renewal. Very unique! Thanks for showing us this spot!
