Mendocino Day 6, Last day

Oh the end of vacation draws near. Tomorrow we pack up, clean up, and hit the road for the LONG drive back home.

In prepping for going home, we are eating all leftovers. Nothing pretty or new to photograph and post here.

We did take a dog-free hike in Van Damm State Park in the Pygmy Forest. The Pygmy Forest is a strange stunted forest area of trees that don't look like the lush redwood forests all around here. The forest area looks more like high mountain desert forest. But a short 1/4 to a 1/2 mile away, the trees are big and rich again. It has something to do with the land formation and soil quality that has made the trees so little.

We took a short 2.5 mile walk from the pygmy trees to the giant redwoods. The hike knocked me out. the last 1/2 mile heading out was all down hill, which of course means the first 1/2 mile coming back was all uphill, and steep. Ugh. I am way out of shape. When we got back to the rental, I took a nap.

Lunch was a good burger from Mendo Burger.

Now, it's relax. Recuperate. And leftovers for dinner.
