Today we took a road trip from the Resort in Nice to the Pacific Ocean. First we headed North West on highway 20 through Willits and on to Fort Bragg. Then we headed south to the cliff and beach at Mendocino, before finally heading home on the Comptchi-Ukiah Road (and Orr Road), back to the […]

The third day of our vacation, we learn more about the history of the Clear Lake Resort in Nice, explore the western shore of Clear Lake, visit the Lakeport fire station, and go swimming in California in December.
