California's Most Dangerous Beach and Cows Do Run



We drove up to Bodega Bay and Jenner, and saw the beautiful, rugged, forboding coastline of the Pacific. As we stopped at Goat Rock Beach, we heard the tremendous roar of the waves before we even saw the huge, powerful waves. There were signs up everywhere about how dangerous the beach was, the "most dangerous beach in California." Play the videos to get a sense of it. Yes, it was fairly cold, though not by Michigan standards!
We also found a walk, which does qualify as a stairway walk, as it had stairs! It was quite steep and interesting, so I did get the walk in.

We drove back down Hwy One, through countryside, farmland, and the Tomales Bay. Dan


really liked the drive, and thought
Tomales Bay was an unexpected gem. It was a beautiful and delightful day. We were coming home around 4, and saw cows RUNNING in the pastures as it was evidently feeding time. Pat was quite surprised to see that cows can actually run.

We stopped at the bar in Nicasio to get their entertainment schedule. This bar is out in the middle of nowhere, but claims to get quite a crowd. It's sort of a country bar with gourmet food, we will have to try it.
We ended up at Boca, the local restaurant, where they have a great tuesday Happy Hour--1/2 half all appetizers and half off all bottles of wine. They have an excellent wine selection, as well as Pat's favorite wedge of lettuce salad with blue cheese dressing.
