NEIGHBORS
I approach what can only be described as a castle in the lovely hills just off West Dry Creek Road. It’s built of thick, grey stones with a bridge going over a circular koi pond. Also on the 56-acre property are an old gas station, a huge ceramic studio, a completely outfitted metal shop and a beautiful meditation room. Stained glass windows, handmade metal gates and railings and one-of-a-kind artwork pop out of the natural setting.

Return to the Russian River
When Jake Messing stood in front of the mural he had just completed for Russian Riverkeeper on the north side of the nonprofit’s headquarters at 139 Healdsburg Ave., he had finished more than another mural. He had made a return to the source from the sea himself, like the salmon he portrayed.
