You know that Heidi is mad for bird-watching and whale-watching and an ace at Parcheesi. She has told you about my obsession with chess and made fun of my love of scrap-booking. But perhaps what you didn't know was that we are also very big fans of Native American artifacts. How could we not be? Surrounded as we are by the same ancient trees as our wild horse ancestors and connected to the earth (due to our reduced stature), of course we feel very close to the beings that lived on our land before us.
The Grace Hudson Museum in nearby Ukiah (our county seat!) has a world famous collection of baskets and more by our native Pomo Indians, but now through February 27th they are also hosting rare and wonderful baskets from the California Indian Heritage Center. This is not to be missed!
Heidi is inquiring if we can be accommodated on the Skunk Train, a wonderfully scenic way to pop over from the Coast, which will take us from Fort Bragg (just 10 miles north) all the way over to Willits, winding all the while through gorgeous scenery, just as it has done for the last 125 years!
From Willits we will just need a quick ride down the 101 to Ukiah. Anyone have a nice big car? Heidi gets carsick. Just a word of warning.
