Day 3 of Steve and Dave's Big Adventure

Today was a motorcycle riders dream day! We started out at 8:30am from Novato and drove up the 101 to Geyserville then headed west past the the beautiful vineyards of Sonoma County and Dry Creek Valley on our way over to Hwy 1 and Stewarts Point. We lunched at a BBQ joint in Gualala and cruised up Hwy 1 with stops at Point Arenas Lighthouse, Mendocino and Fort Bragg. But what made today's ride so stinking much fun was when Hwy 1 turns away from the coast and heads inland toward Hwy 101. For about 25 miles we were riding the rails of our bikes thru the twisties that have to rival the Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina! It is truly more fun then a couple 50+ year old guys should have! Who says the Goldwing is just a touring bike? Once we made it back onto the 101 our next stop was the Avenue Of The Giants home of the largest coastal Redwoods in the world! Spectacular!!! Tonight we are staying at Doug and Sue's in Fortuna, thank you two for your hospitality! Temperature varied from 58 degrees to 88 degrees. Total miles today 297 total trip miles 883 (not counting Dave's 1200 miles he rode from Texas to Cali.
