Mendocino Trip

Steele Wnes

Thursday, July 14th we headed out on our trip to Mendocino, Ca. for the MAC Summer Fine Arts Festival.  When we stopped in Corning for gas Jerry noted that a tire on the motor home looked "funny". So we headed over to the tire shop where we found we needed to replace 4 of the 6 tires on the rig....ouch that cost a buck or two!!

Stopped over at the Steele Winery in Kelseyville, Ca. steelewines.com , off of Hwy. 29 for the night and a short visit. Naomi Key and Pam Shine are great hosts, even had hot coffee for us early Fri. morning.  
  We drove on around Clear Lake and over to Hwy. 1, headed North to Willits, Ca. There we turned west on Hwy. 20 and down, up, down, up and finally into Fort Bragg, Ca. Continued south on Hwy. 1 to Mendocino. Just a beautiful scenic drive.

MAC Art Center

Art pieces are put out all over the garden area

Fri. afternoon I wondered around the center snapping shots here and there. Then around 4pm we started setting up our booth for the show.
We enjoyed the show and visiting with our friends, however, financially we did not do well. So, even if we enjoyed ourselves not sure that we can come back again next year. :>(

Sunday evening after the show we headed south again on Hwy. 1 around 7 miles to a small campground on the banks of the Albion river: Albion River Campground www.albionrivercampground.com We elected to camp there Sunday and Monday nights. This is a beautiful place to camp with lots of fun things to do. Like taking a kayak out.  

This is all for now. Will continue the "story" as we travel on to the next show: Summer Fine Arts Festival, Bargetto Winery, Soquel, Ca. bargettowinery.com
 Have a great evening, hope to see you soon.
