Stillwater Cove

After sadly leaving the Hunolts, we continued down my favorite part of the Coast, from Pt. Arena to Jenner-by-the Sea.

When I was about 11-12 years old I attended a ranch school called Stillwater Cove, which is very near the historic Russian Ft. Ross. The classes were held in small groups by grade, with 45 minutes on and 45 minutes off. During the off hours we had chores like stocking up on firewood for the large fireplaces, milking cows and tending to the horses, keeping the dorms clean, etc. On the weekends we were free to explore the large property or hike up the creek to fish for trout. It was truly a great place for a kid to grow up.

Now this property is operating as an Inn, apparently. We weren't able to find anyone to speak with, so we just wandered around the front and took photos. Here's what used to serve as the main bunkhouse and dining hall/kitchen building:On closer inspection I noticed that the peacocks we used to know are still around. They must have evolved into a huge family after all these years. They are wild and are all over the place. I'll never forget the loud calls they make during the day, plus the beautiful displays the males fan out for the females. We used to pick up dozens of feathers during molting season and decorated the rooms with them.Check it out on the video:
