This weekend I achieved a very long time goal to visit Glass Beach. I’d known about this beach for years, but it was always off my beaten path.
One year I got pretty close to it but for some reason didn’t get quite to the town where the beach is, Fort Bragg.
Finally over 4th of July weekend I found a reason to visit Glass Beach, in conjunction with a few other outings. All in all, it felt like one of those epic quests. First when I got to the town I called a friend who directed me to the beach (which is not marked). I milled around, marveled, took photos, then drove 10 miles south to see some people.
They clued me in to the fact that I hadn’t seen the “good” part of the beach. So I drove back. It occurred to me that the most rewarding goals are often multi-part quests. And if you really want something you’re willing to go the extra mile, or in my case 20 miles. It was worth it………………The experience of discovering a beach composed of more glass than pebbles completely blew my mind….. I hope it blows yours and inspires you to go the extra mile for your big, small goals:
