Mendocino County: No Cellphones, No Problem

Mendocino has two most excellent events coming up that are worth checking out if you are traveling or live nearby in California. June  4-6 is the Mendocino Film Festival, and their music festival July 10-24 “ón the edge of the world.”

My friend Bruce who is a 10-year Mendocino resident, showed me where the tents would be set up, hard by the cliffs and the sea. He told me about a young woman who left a bar, did some necking, and then tumbled off of these cliffs to her death.  No railings in site.

The long winding drive down Cal 128 keeps many people from living here, more like to visit, pass through, than commit to some isolation.  Without cell service in most places, hotel guests say that they can relax more, and have better sex. Well that’s what Elaine from the Elk Cove Inn told me.  Her place is indeed cozy and  you can see why guests just love it.
