On my bucket list, but haven't found the time to travel there. I've also been wanting to ride the Skunk Train at Ft Bragg and see the Lost Coast.

I’ll be staying overnight in Fort Bragg in September. Maybe we’ll do the Skunk Train then.

She's been gone for several years now, but I'm still in Arkansas. I could never go back as I doubt I could afford it. Our next stop is the central highlands of Mexico.
