Tor House Tour, September 10, 2016

Ginger and Karen joined Willy Wool and Jackie Cathcart on a visit to the Tor House in Carmel, California. This was the estate of poet Robinson Jeffers. We toured the inside of the house and the gardens around it, including Hawk Tower, which Jeffers built all by himself as a retreat for his wife. We did not get photos of the inside as it was too dark and flash was not allowed.
