Tonight we crash at a small campground steps from Noyo Harbor. Movie aficionados will recall Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell sailing out of this harbor at the end of their (classic) movie Overboard. These days the harbor is basically a staging place for crab fishermen.
Don’t be fooled by the postcard blue skies above picture – it’s been raining buckets here in northern California and the foul weather has been wreaking havoc on our ability to finalize a place to call home for the week. Due to flooding and concerns that trees may topple over, all coastal state parks in this region remain closed … and likely will be for a few more days in anticipation of additional rain throughout the week.
Ideally, we would simply pull-up anchor and migrate further north towards Oregon, but we’re awaiting mail in Mendocino, so we find ourselves in a holding pattern. Today, we are stalling on any decision by street surfing outside the Fort Bragg library during our work day.
Such is life on the road …
Yesterday I spent all day flying from San Francisco to Washington DC for a quick work trip. It was a long day of travel, but at least I have sufficient airline status that I can frequent the American Airlines lounges along the way and use inflight wifi for free. Combined, these little perks allow for a mostly productive day while cruising at 30,000 feet.
I also have “elite” status with Hilton and Hyatt hotels – a sign that I spend too much time away from my own bed. The hotels love to market certain perks associated with status … one being upgraded rooms. Well today I awoke in a Hyatt Regency hotel – in an upgraded room no less, to this million dollar view of a mall parking lot.
Hey REI, does telecommuting remotely from the woods count as #optoutside ?
