road trip

The original idea for this road trip was to head up to the giant Redwoods but the van my boyfriend bought for surf trips decided it didn't care for inclines. So we met up with our friend Vernon in Santa Cruz and then ended up camping along the Mendocino Coast which is like "settling" for paradise. We jumped into swimming holes, freaked out over beautiful farms (that was me), ate organic, obsessively read guides on how to protect ourselves against bear attack (also me) and documented Jacquie the dog. She's 15 and she kept us in line, which is code for shedding on the sleeping bags.
