Mendocino, California
Thanks for a lovely article! There is no question that the village of Mendocino is the crown jewel of Mendocino County in Northern California. For those who want to enjoy even more of this scenic area, there are nearby communities, including Fort Bragg, with fascinating ways to spend some time. Or just get seriously lazy. There's more info at www.fortbragg.com, www.mendocinocoast.com, and www.GoMendo.com. For information about inland Willits, go to www.willits.org. Beyond the coast you have "the other wine country," the home of the famous Depression-era racehorse, Seabiscuit -- and even the fabled Skunk Train, which connects Fort Bragg to Willits much of the year and showcases redwood forests along the way. Here comes the modesty forbids alert, you can learn more about travel in Mendocino County at www.TinyURL.com/jaygordon. Yeah, that's me. We all hope you love Mendocino County as much as we love San Diego. Six friends and I just returned from the Thanksgiving weekend in San Diego! You come see our redwoods and rugged coast, and we'll keep visiting your sunny beaches and Balboa park. Well, okay, and Old Town and all those other delightful destinations you offer.— December 1, 2009 10:18 a.m.
