Elk

Next up: Elk. Elk is about 15 miles south of Mendocino. I realized on my drive up there that I've never seen that area at all, including the Anderson Valley - I've flown to Mendocino a few times, but never been outside of that main town.

Needless to say, it's stunning. We went wine tasting, hiking, and even worked in a fairly substantial nap. There were three dogs up for the weekend, which was great. I highly recommend a visit.

(And in case you're not already jealous, this first picture was taken from the deck of the house. Pretty amazing spot.)
