“Oh ‘Dear’”. I’m setting a record with regard to tardiness in blogging about a day’s walk – this is a report on our final day of walking on Saturday before our return home for a break, 6 days late!

Another gray day with snippets of sunshine – it started out at 48 degrees! The marine layer today was higher than in the past, so visibility was good.  A desirable element when you’re walking alongside 55 mph traffic with little shoulder.

We started our journey today with a bus pickup at a no-name turnout about 4 miles south of Point Arena (Mendocino County MP 10.7).  As we flagged down the bus, the driver turned on his blinker, slowed, pulled over, then revved the engine right past us – “Really? You’re not gonna pick us up?” I…

We had an 11+ mile day today in order to optimize our bus connections for the rest of the week.  We could see the ocean almost every step of the way, but it was ‘so near and yet so far’. Most of the miles were through coastal farmland, so we were nearly always separated from…

The sun finally came out! We had a great day, full of God’s glorious beauty. There was a major road that branched off Hwy 1 in Mile 2 today, and then traffic was much lighter.  The road was still narrow & curvy in places, but much less frazzling with less cars to dodge! Spotlights This…

Another gray, chilly day. The area we walked was really nice – through the neat, historic little town of Mendocino, then the smaller town of Albion with nice rural areas and scenic coastline between the two. We had  3-4 miles of alternate roads which got us off the highway for a bit. Spotlights This Week:…

900 Miles! The day started off really chilly – 48 degrees. The sun did make a few brief appearances in a half-hearted attempt to do what a sun is supposed to do, but its warmth only served to suck the marine layer back onto shore.

We finished up today on the Northern outskirts of Ft Bragg – again in the fog, but it lifted for a bit of sunshine this afternoon. Nice & cool for the walk though, in the mid 50’s from start to finish.

If you’ve been following my tracker at any time since last Friday, my apologies.  I forgot to turn it off yesterday, so it was pinging all over between Ft. Bragg and our campground in Westport as we were driving to and fro until about 8 pm. I don’t walk that fast nor that far! I…

We did 10.5 miles today because the extra half mile got us to the coast!
