We're finally in Oregon with our final destination being Redmond , Washington. We drove yesterday from Mendocino, CA to Medford, OR. On the way we passed through more rugged California coast, the Redwood National and State Parks and beautiful Oregon forests. Mendocino is a quirky little coast town set on a bluff over looking the ocean. We stayed at the Hill House of Abbot Cove which played a critical role in the tv show Murder She Wrote with Angela Landsbury. Just north of Mendocino is Fort Bragg were we discovered glass beach. This is portion of the coast that the residents of Fort Bragg used as a dump from 1949. In 1967 the beach was cleaned up but of course they couldn't get all the garbage so the beach is littered with tiny pieces of glass which are frosted and rounded from the constant tumbling of the waves. Just like a giant tumbler!
I hope you were able to find a few good pieces to bead around, perhaps! LOVE the picture of the school at Bodega Bay...just watched The Birds, Psycho, and Vertigo a couple of weeks ago, for the umpteenth time. Travel safe, Susan!
