Oh the places we’ve been! – Week 3 highlights


As we know, some of you want just the short version of events.  Fortunately for you we’ve been out of contact so here are JUST the highlights since we posted last.  For you dedicated readers a full blog follows

We rode the Avenue of the Giants and their awesome Redwoods uninterrupted by traffic on Saturday. 

Stayed a night at the “Last of the American Roadhouses” which was treat for the senses. 

Made the final push onto California 1 on Monday. 

Enjoyed the beautiful seaside town of Mendocino.

Made a detour to the Anderson Valley wine region in search of a perfect Pinot Noir and found several to choose from. 
Tried to see if we could get lost and climb the steepest route back to the coast.  Mission accomplished.

Found our best sunset to date at Manchester Beach.

We are three days of riding to San Francisco where we plan to spend three days exploring the city, living like kings and queens thanks to Donald's magic at the Mandarin Oriental, eating something other than bread, cheese, and soup, and sleeping in a more comfortable bed!  For that matter a bed, period!
