Bodega Dunes

The showers are still free at Bodega Dunes Campground. We spent a couple of days camping at the coast where the weather was cool and cloudy. We had a blast boogie boarding, sitting around the fire, and EATING! All four of us stayed in one big tent. We took plenty of wood and burned it all up. There was a family of skunks that roamed the campgrounds that night, putting a scare into less experienced campers. (Then there was the neighbors little dog, which set to howling in the middle of the night.) But it was a very enjoyable trip

The second day we walked up the beach to Salmon Creek, which is where we usually go on day trips. The driftwood fort was one of several we saw. On the way out of town we stopped at a crab shack for some sea food. While there a woman took our pictures (she thought we were looked like a happy family) for possible publication in the Nov. issue of the AAA travel magazine "VIA." Look for us.

I should be able to get a video of our boogie boarding adventures - and some footage taken with my 'action cam' fixed on a helmet I wore. It was great fun.

You DO look like a happy family! Bodega looks like fun - perhaps more so than the USS Midway. Imagine that!

What fun. I miss those campouts. I'm really looking forward to the helmet cam video.

There a ton of those little driftwood forts along the beach at Rick and D.Ann's house. They're really fun to look at, aren't they?
