Call of the wild Part I

I went on an awesome trip to Sonoma County to visit the Jack London State Historic Park. It's located in Glen Ellen.



Writer Jack London, whose novels include White Fang and The Call of the Wild, used to live there. 



He died at the age of 40 in 1916 due to poor health.



First stop at the park was the House of Happy Walls.



The house was built in 1919 in memory of Jack by Charmian London, Jack's second wife.



It now serves as a museum and houses many of the awesome items Jack collected from his world travels.  Jack was also known as an adventurer.





I even learned how to tie different types of knots.  Awesome! Stay tuned for more!
