Petaluma Coast Guard Station (CA)

The RV park is tucked way in the back of the base, there are only 6 spaces, with loads of room in between. It’s spotlessly clean, with a playground nearby and a large pond where there are 3 sets of Canadian geese families. Each family unit has several offspring and each set is at a different stage of development. Also there is a pair of white swans with babies – so cute!

We are enjoying this place and are taking an extra day here to give Vic a break from driving.

Yesterday we noticed Zoe was obsessively licking her front paw so today we found an emergency clinic. Turned out she had some foxtail stickers in her paw so we got them removed. Fortunately they could all be removed with tweezers, none had gone through the skin into her body. Unfortunately this plant is everywhere and in bloom right now.

Yesterday we drove around to see some sights. Saw the lighthouse (a cold and windy walk to get to a point where it could be seen), an abandoned and beached boat, and elephant seals at Point Reyes.

View next to the lighthouse. It’s really really a long way down.
