We had come planning to do some hiking in the nearby state park, but when we got to the mushroom dome realized that the reason people go hiking is to be in places like this! We were received warmly by friends of the space and family and felt comfortable right away. Met Kitty on the way out (only stayed a night), assuring her we are sure to return someday, and she is the nicest most enlightened lady. They've got great garden plans for the dome and have carved out a couple trails into the redwood filled forest which is their backyard. Great space, awesome views, feelin great!
