October 2018

October is the month that ushers in winter. The early weeks of October are typically beautiful with warm weather and few crowds. Usually by the end of the month we have had some rain and the transition from late summer to what looks like winter can happen in one day. After the first rains the forests smell like wet bay leaves and you can almost watch the grass begin to grow. Great time to enjoy the hot tub in the chilly evenings and put on those fall clothes you have been waiting to wear. Lets see what's going on remembering that the best events are those that are not published.

​Occidental weather:

Occidental Center for the arts: The pick pocket ensemble. Oct 13th! These folks sound quite accomplished. Five minutes from the house  

Occidental center for the arts: Laughing Gravy, Oct 26th at 730 pm. This band plays a lot of Gram Parsons music which I have always been a fan of.

Hopmonk Tavern Sebastopol: Here is the music line up.

Jenner Headlands: You may consider checking this area out. It is about a 45 minute drive from the house but it is a beautiful piece of property overlooking the coast.

Red Hill: This is a great hike overlooking the ocean, Willow Creek valley and looking out over Jenner Headlands. If you would like to know how to get there just let me know. It's about 35 minutes from the house and incorporates my loop drive mentioned on my "things to do" tab.

Grove of Old Trees: Great time of year to take a walk through some big redwoods not far from the house!

​That should get you started.
