When I looked at the redwood forest video from yesterday I was so disappointed because the blinding sun-glare completely hid the beauty of those groves. This lead me on a search in an office supply store and the TruValue hardware store in Fort Bragg to find something that I could use as a lens hood for the phone I use as my dash-cam. Finding something black, the right size to block as much sun as possible without appearing in the image, and easy to attach took a while but, after a couple of failed efforts, I found a rubber grommet that seemed to fit the need. It was easy to superglue to the phone case and, I think, it was the major success of a disappointing day.\"Lens<\/a>The work on the phone took longer than I had anticipated so I abandoned my idea of visiting the Sea Glass Museum<\/em> in Fort Bragg and started down Route 1 towards San Francisco. I had expected this would be a highlight but for the first 60 miles there were no sustained views of the coast from the road. I stopped at several viewpoints for photos but it is difficult to know which ones are worthwhile and stopping at every one is not feasible. One that was definitely worthwhile was the Point Arena Lighthouse as seen below. The first photo shows the impressive location and the second one shows the color of the cliffs more accurately.\"Point<\/a>\"Point<\/a>Unfortunately, the fog started shrouding the views as I drove south and, at Bodega Bay, I decided the coast road had given me all I was going to get and I headed inland to the freeway to complete the journey. I love driving winding roads when they are scenic and relatively free of traffic but the coast road was winding, had become shrouded in fog and I was constantly following slow moving RVs. The last, semi-foggy, shot of the day was near Fort Ross\"Foggy<\/a>I arrived in a cloudy and damp San Francisco via the Golden Gate bridge (the one flag on today’s map) and kept going south to my hotel in San Mateo.\u00a0 Even here things did not improve. The room is nice but the coffee maker did not work (replaced now), the phone did not work and the Internet connection is flaky. Hopefully tomorrow will bring back the joy.<\/p>\n
