Camping along the coast-

So Kelly and I just got back from camping up along the Northern California coast. We stayed in Russian Gulch State Park near Medocino, CA. Gorgeous! The weather was mild and the scenery was spectacular. We try to make it up there once a year around this time. The camp grounds are usually pretty empty and quiet. We went with my In-laws (whom I get along great with), and then Kelly's sister and her boyfriend met us there, and also Ti and Hein (more friends) met us up there. We were there from Wed. - Monday.

Kelly posted some pics up on her flickr account, you can check them out here:

We spent a day at Glass Beach and there are a couple pics of it in there. Glass Beach was actually a city dump back in the 1920's. They would dump their trash, burn it, then push it over the cliff into the ocean. Well, it became apparent somewhere along the way that doing that wasn't cool. So now years later, the ocean has tumbled all of that broken glass into pebbles and burnished pieces. The entire beach is covered in little glass pebbles. It's pretty amazing. So the girls (Kelly, Ti and Kathy - wife, friend, mother in law respectively) are all art nuts and went crazy over it. This was Ti's first time to glass beach so she went overboard. The bags of stuff that was collected is crazy! And after 3 hours there, how can you not walk away with a ton of prizes.



I will try to get some more pics up as I get them from other people. But all in all, it was a great time and we had a blast!
