That's typical Pacific Northwest.

The Northern Californian coast is so different from its southern counterpart. Much greener, almost a combination of New England and Pacific Northwest.

I mentioned Mendocino (and Ferndale) but you provided the photos. Picture worth a 1000 words.

The open land on the penninsula around the town would make a heck of a golf course, but maybe not enough for 18 holes unless a few were off the penninsula. Doubt the coastal commission would allow it and the townies wouldn't either plus you have the pygmy forest with tiny trees and it is a state park. But it would be Pebble Beach north.

About as different as the northern coast of Spain (mostly green), and the southern (mostly semiarid). Or north Chile (arid) and the south (green).

Mendocino stood in for a coastal New England town in any number of films, including "Summer of '42", every adolescent boy's favorite film (or at least those who were high school aged in the early '70s when it was made).

I'll never forget the first time I saw Harrisburg--it seemed to just show up out of nowhere on my drive eastbound on the 76. It looked like a city five times its size.

Pennsylvania has some smaller urban gems with character.

Lancaster PA is cute.

On a side note, the Amish are fantastic builders.

Reading PA is nice too IMO.

God that shot of Camden makes me so happy. The saturation is a bit amped up, but Camden really is that colorful in October.

JManc · #**218** Posted **Aug 31, 2020, 3:24 AM**

Lots of amazing little towns alone the ME coast; York, Ogunquit, Kennebunk(port), etc.

This is my pic of it from 10/13/19, from the top of Mt Battie. Looks like the drone pic above is from 10/26/19. Maybe I should visit slightly later next time.
