Getting ready to rob the stagecoach!

Hiker or Stagecoach Robber?

We're continuing to have a blast here along the Sonoma Coast.  The scenery is spectacular and we've certainly managed to escape the hot and humid temperatures of Florida for the time being.  We've actually escaped the heat and humidity so well that it's been downright chilly on several occasions.  Will Rogers is quoted as saying, "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco".  Beth and I are in agreement that this is the coldest June we've ever spent, but we're certainly not complaining.

Wild flowers and the Pacific Ocean (Kortum Trail)

The small town of Jenner from the bank of the Russian River.  It's population is listed as less than 200.

Sunset from Bodega Head

These two young bucks were enjoying the sunset as well.

We're continuing to enjoy the trails, especially the Birdwatch and Cheney Bridge trails that lead to Doran Beach.  You're required to have a mask with you on the trails and to put it on when you pass others.  The compliance isn't quite 100% but it's pretty darn close.  As soon as you pass your fellow masked human you take it off until the next person approaches.  There are quite a few people on the trails so it's a constant putting the mask on and taking it off.  No matter how many times we do it we always have two thoughts; it's sad we have to do this and we look like a bunch of cowboys pulling our masks up as final preparation for robbing the stagecoach.  Crazy Times!

Excellent Clam Chowder from the Spud Point Crab Company!  This nice table was across the street at the local marina.
