Working on this story was a true labor of love. I worked on it for years without even knowing I’d be selected as its writer. I moved to this area in 2005. Since then I’ve spent untold hours photographing and filming the natural beauty, abundant wildlife, awesome food and wonderful people. It’s my home, the astounding Mendocino Coast.

    Wow- Mary! Congrats on the publication of your article! AND…the photos are FANTASTIC! I’m so happy for you. You’re living my dreams, so now I get to live them vicariously through you. It makes me want to drive the hwy and see all that history. Oh, to have a time machine, right? Keep up the great, creative work!

    1. Thank you Debra. Your compliment for my photos means a great deal coming from a photographer with your talent. If being a travel writer is your dream, go for it. I’d be glad to help. It’s a fun job, has some nice perks from time-to-time and the pay is… well let’s say you do get paid – sometimes. 🙂 –MaryGo
