| Page Views: 126 Last Visit to Mendocino: April, 2008 | Relax on California’s Northern Coast by SteveOSF - last update: Jul 5, 2008 |
Mendocino, located on California’s northern coast, is a great place for a weekend getaway. Mendocino was founded in the mid-nineteenth century as a logging town. However, today it is more known as a tourist destination. The town enjoys a high percentage of artists among its residents.
Mendocino is just over a three hour drive from San Francisco, in good traffic. If you get caught in the Friday evening commute between San Francisco and Marin, the drive can be a bit longer. However, it is close enough to the San Francisco Bay Area to make for a nice getaway. The drive to the coast through the Anderson Valley is quite scenic. |

Nice tips on one of my favorite parts of the coast. I'm due to make a return trip this year. | ATXtraveler Sun Jul 13, 2008 21:22 UTC
Willie Nelson told me that I would like the Mendocino County Line... is that a BBQ restaurant? Thanks for the tips. | Ewingjr98 Sun Jul 13, 2008 07:57 UTC
