We visited Mendicino county last weekend. It was beautiful, and I love getting out of the city and into nature. Plus, it was fun as a family to have so much time together exploring the towns, snuggling to sleep together, and taking walks.
Our impetus was to check out land, as in land we might want to buy. We've been talking about this for quite some time, but with our friends Rachel and Cesar moving to MA to live closer to land, we decided we should take active steps in researching areas. This is all very much in the research stage, and we have much to learn, but we were pleasantly surprised at not only the beauty, but the community of folks living up there. From a very brief first visit, my sense is people living there really love it, many are progressive, there's a strong sustainable living element, and lots of kids! Overall, it was a lovely weekend, and we'll be going up there more often as we continue to look.
We visited the Solar Living Institute that had a solar powered carousel. Here are Dav's pics.
