California // Rocky Coasts & Redwoods

Days after Kurtis and I were married, we drove to Northern California and spent a year caretaking on a homestead property in the middle of the redwood forest. Four years later, we made it back for a visit! Most of our trip was spent visiting our friends at the old homestead, but we had a few days to ourselves to explore the coast and camp (tentless!) along the way. The most amazing part of our trip was on Point Reyes, when I didn't use my camera but just soaked in the experience. All the photos here were taken along the coast in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. This area is dear to us. Press play.

Oh, and that's not a bull whip Kurtis is playing with. It's seaweed. Some of you asked. Haha.
