From SF to Jenner - Ocean Cove Coast is Doone territory

Coming up the I -1 Coastal Highway is an amazing drive when its not shut or blocked. So the landscape continues to change the further north we go and some is starting to remind me of Lorna Doone coastal country -- it was the first book --other than Rupert Bear or a Western -- that I remember, so compare some of the piccies---

 

 

No , not these biscuits -- (Which we like very much by the way ) -- No we are talking these pictures of that coast line---

 

 

So Jenner is a tiny town -- population of 170 -- on the I - 1, and we are staying in a wonderful place called Ocean Cove Lodge, about 12 miles north--

 

And the coastline is a lot like this ---

These are just opposite the Hotel , which by the way has a great restaurant--

 

On the way down here we stopped at a beach called Sea Shell Beach -- we have noticed in California to look at the simplicity of the name --- like if there is a House on a Hill then why not call it Hill House or where there are lots of shells on the beach -- what are you gonna call it -- yep , you got it---

My romantic Misses

You know I am really proud of Lynda and me , because as we get older we are doing walking and activities now that with something like the climb down to this beach and more importantly the one back up , I would probably not have done this a couple of years back.

And we are just in the start of the Redwood forests 

 

 

Russian influence all around here but more of hat tomorrow--

Lots of wonderful nature nearby--

And just in the 210 mile drive this lot drops on us making the twists and turns really a little scary

So Breakfast in a real hippy feel -- actually it feels all around this area that a bunch of the SF hippies decided to vacate north and ended up here---

Well I suppose we are near the Sea so there had to be boats somewhere--

Game of chess while waiting for food

And a real tasty brunch today--

 

With all the current rhetoric between Donald and Mr North Korea maybe this sign will be seen a lot more---

And yesterday we had a little tipple called Rodney Strong although the last time we had this named wine it was probably red with my mate Rod & Ann.

 

Ok , getting hungry so Dosveedanya

 

 

See -- one day around Russian influence and i'm speaking like a native.
