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.
