WEATHER: Beautiful. Highs in 70s, at beach in 50s
We did a few chores around the farm. George planted some more tomato plants. Then, we took off for the day.
We drove north about 15 miles on Highway 101, which goes through the state, north to south. Willets is the "Gateway to the Redwoods" and is famous for its sign.
Then, we drove about 30 miles west on a very windy road, through beautiful canopies of redwoods, to the coast. We ended up in Fort Bragg. We checked out two state parks where we might camp after this house-sitting assignment.
We had lunch, fish and chips made from local rock cod, in a seafood restaurant overlooking the town's working harbor. We watched fishing boats come in and go out. 
This row boat passed by, full of tourists who had been out seal-watching. We watched a seal swim by as we ate our lunch. 
We drove south through the darling town of Mendocino, then back through an even windier road back home.
It was a fun day. Kip, the dog, and two of the cats welcomed us home.
DINNER: Baked chicken with onions, garlic, sage and mushrooms. Side was Swiss chard from the garden with Parmesan.
