Yesterday we drove up Hiway 1 along the coast from Larkspur to Fort Bragg.  Beautiful coastline – steep and sometimes sheer cliffs, rocks in the surf, forests and meadows.  It took a lot longer than we expected as the going was slow in a lot of areas and we went through several very small towns of 200-400 people where the speed limit slows to 25mph.

But, we got here and got set up at our new site, at Dolphin Isle.  Our trailer is against a riverbank that is forest on the other bank and there’s a marmarina on the other side of the RV park.

A full-time resident here at the RV park makes his living carving deer antlers and pieces of wood into walking sticks and decorative pieces, sometimes adding gems or interesting stones to them.  He was very taken with Laddy and gave him a small piece of antler to chew on.  Laddy carried it all the way back home in his mouth and has been gnawing on it all evening.
