Fort Bragg, California 2001

Paul’s sister, Jane, and I decided to visit MacKerricher State Park. 3 miles north on Highway 1.  On the way to the beach we passed equestrian riders and sand dunes overgrown with red and green ice plants.  When we pulled into the parking lot, there were several women sitting in lawn chairs. covered with blankets to protect themselves from the sun and wind while a few teen-agers darted in and out of the frigid water and one man was flying a kite.
