ITINERARY: 1. First stop: Historic Morse code , Maritime Radio Station at the Tunnel of Cypress trees. (*** One of the top historic places in California that hardly anyone knows about.)
2. Drive to a special remote area & hike to beach & indulge in an amazing trail lush with so many beautiful Wildflowers. Then locate & explore the hidden caves, gorge, mussel colony(Great place for photos) & cool tunnel skylight to ocean. NOTE: Several years ago , we observed a seal observing us as he came ashore with a camera or monitor on his head. It was hilarious & startling !
******We always have our after event dinner option somewhere on the back. As we say: "It will be just another crappy day in "PARADISE"
P.S. REMEMBER: Never even think of being a dreaded NO SHOW!!!
P.S. #2 : Watch for the 1 long day coming soon for the Magical Mystery FOREST ramble near Ukiah. Sunk in an old volcano floor with hot springs & it has 5 of the 12 world's tallest trees & also the world's second tallest tree. I know where it resides.
