Solar Living Institute Grow Thru Cars (Hopland, CA)
The Solar Living Center in Hopland on Highway 101 is home to the Grow-Through Cars, five 'muscle' cars which were parked next to the highway back in the 1970's with trees planted inside them. Over time these trees have grown to a serious size and now they make a suitable counterpoint to the Drive Through Trees further up the coast. Known affectionately as the Memorial Car Grove, or alternatively as Petro Pig Park, this visionary artwork highlights a natural phenomenon: eventually nature takes back whatever humans, even with the most advanced technologies, can create.
The Raven, 824 Acre Compound in Hopland, California
The Raven is a stunning ranch conveniently located in southern Mendocino County, 15 minutes to Hwy 101, 45 minutes to the iconic wine country town of Healdsburg and 2 hours from the Golden Gate Bridge. This 824.6 +/- acre compound features open meadows and oak woodlands, forested timber slopes and Cumminsky Creek meandering through. Some of the natural highlights include absolute privacy with only the sounds of nature, big dramatic views of Duncan Peak, Alexander Valley, Yorkville, and Hopland; stargazing nightly in the summer and morning valley fog that leads to brilliant sunshine. The wildlife abounds with big game like wild pigs and trophy blacktail deer to name a few. Recreational possibilities are endless with plenty of space and a good road network to ride ATV’s.

The Mendocino Complex fire, which includes two blazes along the Mendocino National Forest, had chewed through more than 273,600 acres as of Monday morning, and is now the second-largest ever recorded in the state. Just 30 percent of the blaze is contained, Cal Fire’s Mendocino unit said. Last year’s Thomas fire, which consumed 281,000 acres in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, remains the state’s largest on record. The Cedar fire in 2003, now the third-largest, devoured 273,246 acres in San Diego County, according to Cal Fire records. The city of Los Angeles, by comparison, is about 300,000 acres.
