CAP,
Glad to hear you enjoyed the scenery and the ride. Sorry about the rain -this year
has stayed wet and cool longer than usual is actually about like normal. (Sorry HG5, don't want too many people deciding to move up here...) It's finally warming up now though.
I was looking at your GPS route, and it looks like you may have missed a little of the "good stuff" just outside Crescent City, CA. Did you miss the turn off onto Hwy 199 on accident, or was it part of your plan? The route you took on North Bank Road is nice, but the short section of 199 between 101 and North Bank Road has some really great old growth Redwood forest and good twisties too. It's always dark and cool in that section, so it's a nice place to go through on a hot summer day.
Glad you liked the stretch along the Rogue River -it's one of my favorites!
Sounds like you had a good time and that's what it's all about!
