Mendocino Headlands

Before continuing up the coast from Fort Bragg, we doubled back to visit the Mendocino Headlands. Dan wasn't totally convinced of the value of this backtracking, until we go there. . . Where we hopped around the headlands and stared down cliffs and studied the little plants clinging to the sides of the rocks.  My biggest surprise--vegetation-wise--was how many wild irises grew on rock faces in the wind and salt from the ocean.




sort of blurry/dreamy photo. . . though unintentional in the moment, it's sort of how the trip feels now.  Already a little far away and out of focus.  The constant driving and moving around was exhausting, but I wish we could have kept driving together forever. . .








Kelp Monster!!
