Lost Coast
wild ride to Shelter Cove
wild ride to Petrolia
steepest grades we have ever driven, bar none
morning in Ferndale
camped on the asphalt at the fairgrounds
Humboldt County Fairgrounds Campground
morning view from the fairgrounds
morning view from the sofa in the MoHo
museum in Scotia
great old steam donkey
clean as a whistle company town of scotia
Redway wasn't as great as the write-up
story of the Cape Mendocino lighthouse moved to Sheltered Cove
the tidepools at sheltered Cove
a surprising number of homes at Sheltered Cove considering the wild ride to get here
the Tea House at Sheltered Cove won't open until March 5
beautiful sunlight but it's still really cold
looking south from Sheltered Cove
circular waves in Sheltered Cove
Black Sand Beach north of Sheltered Cove with the Lost Coast mountains
walking down to the Black Sand Beach
This is called the Lost Coast because it's so inaccessible
the sands are truly black
tiny hidden waterfalls
Black Sand Beach on the Lost Coast
the road to Sheltered Cove is 21 miles of wild ups and downs and curves
21 miles out there from Redway and it took us more than an hour each way
sure glad we didn't have the motorhome!
ackk!!
the King Range and the Lost Coast are wild, empty, and rugged
time for a break from the road!
in the middle of nowhere, the gorgeous Mattole River Valley
the heart of the Triple Junction, town of Petrolia
will take another hour from Petrolia to go this 30 miles
the gorgeous Mettole Valley and Petrolia
sunset at Cape Mendocino, wildest place I have been to on the California coast
wild winds blowing ocean spray on the tops of the waves
