Day 2 . We made it to humboldt county ( weed capital of USA ) it was a beautiful drive right by the ocean , slow drive max speed in some turns is 15 mph
11 pm at night we pulled in front of best western hotel , 4 miles before the hotel there was this amazing looking building , that said BEMBOW, while I was in the lobby of best western looking for the room , Karla searched BEMBOW and it came out to be this amazing 1927 build 4 star hotel
We had to turn around and go see her , it was defiantly worth the stay
Very classy place very nice restaurant , patio and all
Best western was 230$ a night and BEMBOW was 190, world of difference in class and location ,

Day 3 was a late start, around noon we got back on the road headed to San Francisco , over Golden Gate Bridge towards redwoods national park
Wow is the right word for those giant trees , some trees are 400 ft tall and huge , we hiked 4 miles deep in the rain forest to see what every day coastal fog and rain can create , trees are right by the coast on the beginning of the trail there are tsunami warnings and even a structure to climb up for emergency ,

10 pm we were enjoying the camp fire the sound if the waves of pacific

Thank you it really is a nice drive , but the problem is it's so nice it makes u wanna stop even half a mile and it takes 4 days to finish the highway alone

We are in a little town 100 miles south west of Portland , brakes on the cruiser started to make noise I guess rear brakes are all worn out , we found a shop , he is changing it right now

Nice trip. When I was a kid my folks took me up the west coast twice on our travels. Hope I can do it again soon.
