Lately I've been craving more beach time, so my partner and I made a (very unplanned) day trip to Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, CA. We planned on waking up early so we could also visit the Botanical Gardens and the Pygmy Forest in Jughandle State Reserve, but we ended up arriving around 4pm. Nevertheless, the beach was beautiful and we got to watch the sun set. We thought about spending the night there but after getting spooked by strange folks at the local Safeway, we decided to return home for the evening. I still enjoyed the trip and we'll definitely return later this month.
On hwy 20-- 3 hours North from San Francisco and the scenery completely changes...
...and so does the leaf "litter"
Mushrooms: little surprises in places you normally overlook!

Collecting is not allowed in at Glass Beach, however there are areas
right outside the state park boundary where you can look for sea glass.
Glass Beach is comprised of mostly sea glass and occasional pottery that
came about from years of dumping garbage over the cliffs of Fort Bragg.

Looking forward to tomorrow's adventure: Muir Woods!
