A winding road through a forest occasionally along the banks of a river then climbing high above on the canyon walls before diving down to the river again with very little traffic. If this sounds familiar it should, we have found so many roads like this although each is completely unique I’m unable to offer a unique written description. The day started on one of those roads with me in the lead heading east on 299 from Arcata and I quickly learned why it’s rated as a top motorcycle road.
At our first break I started hearing the complaints about we didn’t get to look at the scenery and I had to remind them it was rated as a great motorcycle road not a scenery road, although it certainly had both. The lead changed during the day and we finished with about 30 miles of I-80 before calling it a night.
It's best to go home by another way
Home by another way
We got this far to a lucky star
But tomorrow is another day
We can make it another way
Safe home as they used to say
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high
And go home another way
James Taylor
After the great start the day turned just a little sad knowing we are slowly headed in the direction of home. I can’t wait to see my grandkids, kids, wife, dog, and 58 Impala (don’t ask the order I want to see them in) but I always regret the trip coming to an end. The reality is we are winding down, the scenery will leave, the roads will straighten and our love ones will welcome us.

May I remind you that you would not have kids, grandkids, this dog, or your '58 Impala without your wife...
Good one, Ma! :)
Don't forget that when you come home you do still get to relive your trip over and over...and over... ;)
We love you!
