looking like a basket of easter eggs

[JCZ]

Rolled into Willits for a gas stop and a break.

Jeff's new Ultra Classic Limited in the foreground (red & black).....John's new Ultra Classic Limited in the background (purple and black).  I'm sure that the MoCo has some fancy, fangle, dangle name for these colors.

Jeff went on his first ride out of town (and on the freeway) on his 09 SE Springer about three weeks ago.  He's one of those rare riders that just took to riding right away.......he hung right with us in the mountains.  A week before this ride he PM'd me to tell me that he'd just taken his bike in for it's first service and made the mistake of taking a 2011 Ultra Classic Limited for a test ride.  He's now the proud owner of two new bikes!

Out of Willits headed north on Hwy. 101....just enjoying the ride and the day

Finally made it to Avenue of The Giants (the redwoods).  And Jeff using that new bike for his lunch wagon, office and mode of transportation all in one.  Something tells me the Springer will be getting less and less use.

The up side of riding this time of year......just no traffic to speak of.

Don is up to something.....look at that face.

John and his new Limited.

It's about 1:30 p.m. in the afternoon here......the forest is so thick that it's dark in there.  We're on the edge of the woods here but you can get back in there where you need a headlight.

The road headed over to the Lost Coast

This, the bridge where everybody in the photo watched me nearly wipe my bike out because I was riding without hands, turned totally around shooting this picture with an SLR camera.

Time for another break after that close call.  This is Honedew, for those who have been here.  No cell reception or much of anything else back in this far.

Finally, we break out onto the Lost Coast......

......and a lot of fog ahead.

Soon we were soaking wet from the fog, miserable and on a very, very nasty road.

We stayed in Fortuna Best Western that night.  I would recommend it to anybody in the area.  Had a great tri-tip dinner right around the corner and laid in.

The next morning some slept in while the rest of us got up and road to Eureka for breakfast at the Samoa Cookhouse (Samoa was the last company owned town in America).

Can't beat those prices.  They feed you family style and they keep feeding you until you say "please, no more!".
