Fort Bragg, California

I was going to start out with an apology and explanation for the few and far between blogs...

But I deleted the sad story because that's not really how I feel. I don't really care that it's been since northern Oregon where I got on a computer! That's how this trip should be. Aside from the usual iPhone apps of Facebook and Instagram (yes I have some cool pictures up on those too) this trip has been tucked away in my heart and my memory between my lover and I. And I like it like that.

We are now in Mendocino County and looking for a temporary living space and some jobs. This does not mean that the journey has stopped - it's quite the opposite actually. We need to refuel our bodies and spirits, naturally after being on the road for 42 days! But we are also thinking about future adventures.The decision has been made to settle for a bit and make some money for the second half of the trip.

More good news is that I get to use the library regularly! It is closed about half the week though (I'm finding this a normal business decision here in Fort Bragg.) As I have 19 minutes left on my computer timer I'm going to have to catch you up on our earlier adventures on a later date. I thought I could hash it out but looking at my now 1,300 pictures and  pages of journaling I want to respect the journey.

As of today we are camping south of town a little and getting over some colds. We have been blessed with meeting friendly people in town as well as getting to have a few dinners with new friends. It's a semi-quiet town with regular fog rolling in off the coast. There's a sense of calm and local flavor all over town. I'm looking forward to getting to know it better and see what it has to offer Blake and I while we rest up here for a bit.







 

Dream Big Ride Far, Friends! We miss and love you all back home.
