hey, Point Arena! Yeah, I know what you mean. First place I came to in Mendocino County was PA, had friends living there. Rented a place in Anchor Bay, had to make the long drive to Fort Bragg to give birth to son #2. That was 1972, before whats his name from JackintheBox bought the Mendo hotel ... came to Mendocino in 1975 and watched the whole shift to tourism evolve. Left in 1982, sick of living somewhere overrun by tourists.
My ex (who is a real character) went back and lived in Point Arena in the 80's and later.
My friend in Hawi moved there after selling his home of many years up Greenwood Ridge, buying a boat, sailing to the South Pacific, and ending up in Hawai'i. After living in Puako, migrated to the north of the island.
There are quite a few Mendonesians living in windward North Kohala, also in HOVE, and naturally Puna.
