We are finishing up our second week here in Mendocino. The weather has been great...quite a few sunny days but the temps never above 70 degrees. Our good friends, Ken & Janice Ryder have been staying with us this past week. They are enjoying the area while also helping out at the Ford House. They were here last year for three days and helped Cecile make abalone shell wreaths which are sold in the Ford House. The wreaths they made last year ending up selling out by Christmas so they are trying to double their production for this year.
We have been enjoying their company a lot...having lots of campfires and good BBQ meals as well as exploring the area. We took a long trip to Usal Beach on the Lost Coast which is about fourty miles north of here...the last six of which are on a narrow one-lane dirt road over the mountains. Ken and Gary enjoyed the adventure a lot but Janice & Cecile said that they would stay home the next time we decided to go there. Since it is so remote we didn't meet very many cars along the way.
There are about six days in a row of minus tides coming up starting this weekend so we are hoping to get a little abalone to feast on. We shall see.

It was an adventure but we all were smiling upon our return to camp. Good time with good friends! But you're right . . . the men can do it on their own next time! We still have to figure out a way to get those abalone, though.
Thanks for a sharing a great time in Mendocino. We value your friendship and look forward to more times like this in years to come.
