Pacific Coast Highway Continued

Back to the coastal drive.  Cut through wine country and start north at Bodega Bay.  The views just started all over again.  I don't think anyone could get tired of this. 

Ocean stretching out so far and weaving in and out of forest.  This part of the drive went through more little towns and was a little trickier as far as taking the turns go. 

 

 

And it certainly did not help once the rain started.  The waves crashing below were really something.  This area also had more beaches that are accessible by trails along the way.

I didn't stop at any until the end, when the rain paused. 

This beach had black sand, and was taken over by seagulls.  I walked as close to the coast as the gulls would allow before turning back to the car, soaked from the ocean mist and the returning rain.

Stopped in Fort Bragg to wait out the rain and traffic a little bit once the highway turned away from the coast.
