We left Highway 101 at Leggett and headed for the coast on Highway 1. The first 8 km was almost straight up with one tight 10 mph switchback after another, no edges to the road and cliffs. At least it wasn't raining!
The Californian coast line is completely different than that of Oregon. It is not a rugged, but rather has never ending beach views. Bev is pointing to the hwy 1 running along above the coastline.
We ended the day camping in a State Park near Mendocino. This is a upscale historic town - think yee olde Unionville by the sea with a touch of California cool.
After Mendocino we continued down hwy 128 through the Anderson Valley, visiting several wineries along the way. NOOO, don't worry, we don't drink while on the bike....you need every oz. of concentration on these roads!
