Mendocino

Mendocino. Cute. Adorable. Like Galena, IL, but on the Pacific, not the Mississippi. Also, smaller than Galena. But just as cute and adorable. I stopped here on my way from Fortuna to my next stop-over in Point Arena. It was kind of late in the afternoon, and I was kind of on a mission to find a snack since the Tap House/Grill affiliated with North Coast Brewery in Fort Bragg (my original plan for second lunch) was closed. Found a fresh crab cake made with local Dungeness Crab at the Mendocino Market & Deli - big chunks of crab meat and some succulent veggies made it a good choice indeed. Then an unplanned hike to the beach area and some rocks. If I'd been more inclined to stop in the local shops, I could have easily killed an hour that way, but instead I climbed around some driftwood, looked in some tide pools, and debated whether to stay another 45 minutes to watch the sun set.

And then there was this area on the beach with cool water dripping noises that I thought I would try to record. I think it worked pretty well (this is from my HTC Android phone). This should be a choice on my white noise app; much better than water dripping into a sink.
