I believe this is correct, it displaces a lot of air. If I try flipping open without a window open or tailgate open, it takes much more effort to do. If I flip closed with the rear sealed up, all of the canvas winds up hanging out the sides and requires more tucking. My understanding is that...

Muir Beach overlook Taking the slow route back into the city, and one more stop at the Muir Beach Overlook in Golden Gate National Recreation area. During World War II, the defense of San Francisco Bay was augmented by soldiers who manned these “gopher holes”. In those fearful times, the...

Point Reyes National Seashore On the way back to the city, a long detour over to Point Reyes National Seashore in Marin county. The drive in is through beautiful rolling green hills with lakes and the ocean views are spectacular. a picture worthy private house on the way in: On the way...

Honeydew & Shelter Cove It was getting time to get back to the city, but I wanted at least one more night out here. Packed up and headed to Honeydw, a tiny little town with a general store and post office, but not much else. On the way we stopped by A.W. Way county park right next to the...

Lucky you - I try and do this area whenever I have the time. I'll definitely go check out the tidepools at the bottom next go around. Thanks for the great pics, good looking heeler you have there :)

around Mattole Beach We started the day out walking over to the estuary at the mouth of the Mattole River. Along the way, there was a goat wandering near the beach – Pepper took care of him and he went skittering off to home, wherever that is. approaching the estuary: Mattole...

Mattole Beach Thanks Bob - hope the road is treating you well! I was even happier to see the deserted campground. This is unheard of in CA – beach camping for $8?? As you enter the CG there is a parking area for folks hiking the Coastal Trail, and a couple of pit toilets. On the other...

Ferndale to Petrolia Coming out of Ferndale, you hop on Wildcat Rd/Mattole Rd and are immediately engulfed by forest. Google maps indifferently tells you it is 29 miles from Ferndale to Petrolia, a little over an hour drive. What Google doesn't tell you is that this is possibly one of the...

LOST COAST - the most undeveloped portion of the California coast The terrain here is too rugged for highway building, so Rt 1 and U.S. 101 are forced inland. This remote region is known as California's Lost Coast, and is only accessible from a few back roads. This 64-mile section of the...

Scotia to Ferndale In the morning, we left for Ferndale and made a stop through Scotia. Scotia is a logging town and one of the last remaining American “company-owned” towns. Crossing Eagle Prairie bridge into Dell Rio for gas and supplies. Then on to Ferndale, a little town known for...

Humboldt Redwoods forest, west of 101 You must have nerves of steel! I've often passed bicycles on this route, wondering how they do it. And beautiful pic - threads are for sharing, you can't steal them ;) Heading west into the redwoods along Bull Creek Flats Rd, past Rockefeller Redwood...

94 GT, 72K miles, RWD, ebay in IL ebay link Exterior is beautiful, interior needs help, popup not working, a project Tiger.

For the record, I'm going to disagree with this. My RWD 2005 Tiger GT has done thousands of miles offroad, with pretty much stock suspension (added airbags) and no damage other than a few shredded tires. I did double latch a couple of the cabinets, and a little bracket for the fridge door. I...

Rt 1 north to Ave of the Giants Thanks y'all - I get plenty of ideas from other people's reports, so happy to share. I had thoughts of driving all the way to Seattle by way of Portland, or maybe back to my favorite little town of Requa, CA overlooking the Klamath River near Crescent City. I...

Russian Gulch Pretty soon we discovered Russian Gulch SP. Camping is available here, but was closed when we went. Sadly, another gem fallen victim to the CA fiscal nightmare, the park is scheduled for closure July 1 2012. We are on the verge of losing access to some truly beautiful spots...

Mendocino coast Contrary to popular belief, there are not many places to camp on the beach in CA. You have to find campgrounds with coastal access nearby. Around these parts you start getting that I'm-alone-up-here feeling where it's long distances to the next place. I wasn’t sure what...

I think you're doing great! I really enjoy this thread not just for the pics and adventure, but because I learn something with every entry. Thanks!

north to Mendocino Since we arrived early, I wanted to escape the pre-christmas-madness and head north for a bit. I really considered this trip as starting in SF, and had some thoughts of making it to Portland and maybe Seattle to see friends before the holiday. But not knowing how well my...

Rt 1 to Santa Cruz I took off down Rt 1 to Santa Cruz to pick up my cousin who's in school at UCSC. I always volunteer to do this, saves everyone time and fun for me. For me, any day spent driving a beautiful road like Rt 1 for a couple hours is a good day. Here's Seabright Beach: And a...

San Francisco Time goes by and now it's almost Christmas. The family was converging, so we just had to get to San Francisco. All loaded up with the crate and bad-tummy-drugs for Pepper, we left early in case we had to stop on the way. Choosing the most direct route, we set out for San...
