Enjoying the Coast

 Jerry and I are parked at the Westside Side Park in Bodega Bay for the next 4 days. Taking rest of today, Thursday, and Friday to relax and enjoy the gorgeous bay. We found this park about 4 years ago, when we were doing the Bodega Fisherman's Festival. And, ever since we get here as often as we can between shows. The park is run by the Sonoma County Parks and usually has a full time camp host. They do a good job of keeping the park as "natural" as possible. No hookups, but there is a dump station on site.



  Took a short walk from our site and found this pretty little jewel....
The Ice Plants this time of the year are really beautiful and just coming into bloom. On our way in on Hwy. 12 I saw an older dairy farm with the entire long drive leading up to the house from the road. And the road side edge  lined in Easter Lillie's that were in full bloom. Wanted to take a picture but, the road is very narrow and I found no safe parking.






  From our site we can view the incoming and outgoing boats. This picuture was taken during low tide of a fisherman coming into the harbor. Salmon Season opens on Saturday. So the crab boats are working overtime to get their crab pots pulled and packed away.





  We also have a great view of the bay. Right across to Bodega Bay village. Had lunch at Lucas Wharf this afternoon which is on the far right side of this photo. 

 So from this you can see that Jerry will really enjoy himself. He has already just return from his first walk down to the boat dock .
I will kick back and work on crossword puzzles.
Any of you that want a drive or live close to Sebastopol. The Apple Blossom Festival is on Sat. and Sun. April 16/17 and we will have lots of new pieces for you to enjoy! So come on over and join us.!!
See you soon......
