At breakfast we decided to head towards Redwood National Park located just off the coast near the Oregon border. Mapquest and the Honda GPS said it was 170 miles to the park entrance. We pulled out the old paper road map and after checking the green dot (scenic) roads that were available found a different route.
After about 270 miles of riding are in for the night and still short of the park. We have been on some of the most incredible two lane starting with farm country into the grass hills then forests prior to breaking out onto highway 1 in Ft Bragg CA. Then north on highway 1 winding back and forth on 35 mph roads with 15 mph corners then slightly inland into dense forests. I've run out of superlatives to describe the continued run of great roads we've found so far this year. Seven days on the road and we're still in California and have probably ridden less than 100 miles of freeways.
Walked to dinner, raised a beer to the end of the first week on the road with two more to look forward to. Tomorrow the third park then on to Oregon.

PS Scenic laundry pile very colorful. Robert mowed the lawn...gorgious green!
I've had a chance to drive through those redwoods outside of Eureka and know the beauty that you got to see. What a lucky bunch of guys to be enjoying great scenery, good friends, cold beer, and no nagging.
