Sunset in Elk

I decided not to kill time in Mendocino before sunset. All the shops closed at 4 or 5, sunset wasn't scheduled until 5:16, and it was about 4:30. So I hit the road again and kept an eye on the clock. About 5:08, I started looking for good places to pull over for the show, but of course there weren't any. And the road was taking dips inland for a while which made me think that maybe I was going to miss my first opportunity for a Pacific sunset on this trip. Finally, just in time, I passed through this little town called Elk and found an access point to a hiking trail that took a quick jog to reach a fantastic point to watch the sun go down.

Some crazy wind-blown tree on my way to the point for sunset
Heading toward the point
Looking back at the somewhat treacherous path I took to get to the point
