After seeing so many beautiful travel photos posted by Virily members from all over the world, I remembered that here in the USA we do call our country “America the Beautiful” for a reason. This is the name they put on our lifetime senior pass which costs only $10 and entitles us to free or half/price access and camping at thousands of wonderful forest sites up and down the state. It is one of my goals in life to make as much use of my senior pass as possible because without it travel can be expensive, especially on the coast where some of the campsites run $95/night and hotel rooms average about $250.
This is Stillwater Cove, one of my favorite vacation spots near Jenner up on the north coast. If you come here bring a coat, as this is a rugged part of the coast likely to be foggy and cold even in the summer. But at least midweek it tends to be little traveled. Therefore, if getting away from it all is what you like this is a lovely place.
WOW Ann just reading through your Bio, I’m absolutely drawn to your lifestyle. My wife and I intended to do something like that 8 years ago when we both turned 61. We were going to sell our apartment and our car, buy a camper and take wonderfull relaxing trips until that last sunset came along. Well, the universe changed our plans, right-around. Still, we have no regrets, we had many tough years together and had to make lots of lemonade, Pun! But I get to spend lots of time in the company of my favorite person, my wife, Daleen.
Hi Andre, I cannot believe it has been 5 months since I hung out here on Virily. Yes, life has a way of changing our plans doesn’t it? Happy Holidays to you and to your wife Daleen.
The pictures tell how lovely the place is. Nice place, of course.
Thank you, Gil, do you also have beautiful beaches where you live?
Yes, our country has so many beautiful beaches or resort inland and in the mountain top. The controversial Boracay beach which attracts hundreds to thousands tourists every year is now open to public. It has a white sand.
Oh, yes, isn’t it wonderful that it has been restored. So beautiful.
Cute, and peaceful pictures, Ann
Wanted so much to get up there this summer, but couldn’t. Maybe next year.
And that’s the glory of it. There is always a next year : )
I certainly hope so, Thomas.
Amazing pictures and beautiful post. I really enjoyed reading it 🙂
Glad you stopped by and made a reply.
Amazing pictures and beautiful post. 🙂
Thank you Zaklina for your nice comment.
I’m very nice – just take this advantage and enjoy
You are right, lado, if we do not get out and about, we miss out.
I can understand why Stillwater Cove is your favorite place.
The southern beaches are more comfortable, but they lack the character of this one, which has a wildness that I like.
Apparently, you have a special preference, Ann.
it has a great name, though
Yes, I like the name, too.
It isn’t enough that I have to do good art, but I am expected to have good titles as well. At any rate, I pay attention to names for that reason…
Being able to name things gives you power, which is why the Egyptians started out their prayers by exclaiming, “I know your name!”
I didn’t know that about the Egyptians, but that’s damn cool
Thank you for looking at my pictures marija64!
Ann, this is a wonderful place to relax
You post so many beautiful pictures of your country, vidocka, I wanted to show you some of mine.
