MacKerricher

Lunch in Eureka, then our winding ride through Petrolia and Honeydew, took awhile. I had hoped to check out Shelter Cove, but by the time we finally got to the main road, we realized it might be better to just keep going. We grabbed sandwich stuff for dinner at a grocery store, which M ate right away, but I waited until we until we got back to the coast to eat mine (Route 1 between Leggett and the coast is not one for eating and driving at the same time). We got to the coast right around sunset, which was great, and eventually pulled into our reserved spot at MacKerricher around 9 in the evening.

MacKerricher is just north of Fort Bragg and was our base for two nights.  Our campsite turned out to be pretty close to the beach, which was nice, and we could listen to the surf in the distance at night (not that there was much surf during our visit).
