If you're ever driving up Mt Evans Road, along the highest paved highway in North America, beware and take a good look along the roadside tundra near the top. You will always find the marmots. Drive slowly, and you'll be sure to spot one or two ducking back in their holes. Once you do, find a turnoff, park the car, and sit a few feet away with that long lens. You won't be disappointed, as they are sure to pop up from their holes, curious to see what's around.

One of the simple pleasures of traveling Maine's byways is the wildflowers that bloom regardless of the weather. Late June/early July is the time of the Daisy and Black-eyed Susans. The rain that has been received this June and continueing into July, has everything very tall and lush, with the blooms only lasting a very short time.

MacKerricher State Park is a lovely spot to camp and take in the sites, visit the scenic Mendocino coastline, dive for abalone (in season) hike, bike, or just relax. There's a skeleton of a Gray Whale at the visitor center, and it's just about three miles out of town (Fort Bragg). It's also within easy reach of several other very nice State Parks along this very beautiful reach of coastline.
