It has been about 16 years since we moved away from California, but I still often fondly recall our family trips to the Point Reyes Lighthouse (above). From here we would whale watch and enjoy the cool Northern California temperatures. We found many wonderful spots that we kept going back to. One such place was the Bear Valley Visitor Center (below) - and it's replica Miowak Indian village.
Of course these trips were most meaningful and enlightening to Jon, who was able to find a vision for his life at one of our familiar stops, The Cheese Factory. It was by this pond (below) that Jon realized that God's plan for his life was to become a Golden Retreiver, an expectation I suspect Jon still holds to.
This place has great, big, dill pickles, but very stinky cheese - Mom made us take the tour and we thought it would be like the Jelly Belly Factory tour, except by the end we all smelled like Brie and didn't want any free samples (except Mom of course). I really hope some day we can all go back here for a Crum family get together, visit the lighthouse and cheese factory, and relive these great memories.

Yeah, I remember putting my shirt over my nose even driving by the Cheese Factory and Mom saying, "Stop that, it doesn't smell bad" - Yeah right Mom!
I loved the cheese factory (which I admit did smell rather strong), the Nature Center at Pt. Reyes and the view above the light house, even though I never made the trek down those steps. What a great location for a family reunion some day!
and you bet yer beduskis i still want to be a dog
Southern Oregon people! I enjoyed the field trips we took you kids on, my favorite was probably the earthquake trail. That seperated fence is an amazing visual.
Hey Peter, what was that joke you made up about the san andreas fault?
