I left off in my last blog at Duncans Landing. These next pictures are still at Duncans Landing. A cove below for private sunbathing. |
Waves coming between the boulders. |
Some picnic tables at Duncans Landing. |
View looking back inland. |
Homes across the road on Hwy.1. |
Coastline wild flowers almost done blooming. |
It was so pretty on this drive and especially at Duncans Landing. |
Sorry so many pictures of this area, but I had a hard time choosing between them. |
Off to the other side of Duncans Landing was another small private cove. Note the three people sitting on the edge of the cliff looking down. |
Now you can see them better. |
Just down from Duncans Landing is Duncans Cove. Dogs are allowed on Duncans Cove on a leash. And don't forget to pick up after them, so we can continue to have these privileges. |
Views from Duncans Cove. |
A close up revealed some homes have been washed to sea. |
Erosion where homes use to be. |
Further south from the empty lots were homes right on the edge. |
Another view of the erosive area. |
Next is Poruguese Beach. |
Dogs are also allowed on Portuguese Beach. |
The stairs at Carmet Beach are pretty steep. |
Not a good beach for the elderly. |
We came to a spot where the beach had no boulders. |
This is Miwok Beach and was the largest of all the beaches. |
We stopped at Bodega Dunes Campground. |
Campsites are $35.00 a night. Not too many sites for big rigs. The sites did not have water views either. |
We entered into the village of Bodega Bay that has a population of 950. |
Patricks Salt Water Taffy catches your eye as you drive through. |
Bodega Coast Inn had a couple of sculptured shrubs that were cute. |
Looking across Bodega Bay. |
The marina in Bodega Bay. |
Mallery was worn out, so we head back up the coast for home. |
The Blue Heron was having a cookout and band that day in Duncans Mills. |
Because it was 4:30, we missed out on the food. The cookout ended at 4:00. |
But the music was still going on. We could hear it from our Nest, so we walked up for the pictures and to check out the action. |
Across the street from the Blue Heron and village area is the Russian River Rodeo Grounds. A rodeo was going on one day while we were there, but we had other plans. |
Accross the street in the other direction were a few more shops and a market. We never had time to check them out. Darn! |
Because Duncans Mills had an old train station, we could not miss taking a picture of Joe by an old train car, since he worked for a RR company all his working years. |
This use to be part of the old RR station, but now it houses the Parks and Recreation Department. |
Under the eves were Swallow nest. |
Most of the nests had their occupants in them. |
