American Road Trip Journal #15: Salt Point State Park

January 29, 2018 in journal

New episode of the American Road Trip, number 15!

This time we car camp in Salt Point State Park. This spot is some 2 hours south of Mendocino and 2.5 hours north of the Bay Area.

We went back to Point Arena from there: the weather was much nicer than last time and also Rachel didn't get to visit it last time. Walking on the headlands of this place was one of the most relaxing things we did during the whole road trip.

Salt Point is not very big, but it's still beautiful and perfect to catch a sunset, which is what we did.

We also visited the coast of Sonoma County so I checked a few extra places I'd never been to.

Next episode, San Francisco! My favorite city in the United States.

We spent a weekend in Salt Point State Park, where we car camped. It was a bit tight (remember we were carrying all our belongings with us), but as usual a fantastic experience. The place is beautiful and close to a favorite of in, Point Arena, where we went back to take some more photos and walk for a bit.
