Geez Matt you really know how to make a working city stiff feel bad on a
week day. I'll get over it. I love those roads you mentioned above. It's
been close to two years since I was on 299, 3 and then 36 back to
Eureka. Last year I did The Lost Coast, Matolle Rd to Honeydew, passed
on the rd to Shelter Cove and continued to the Avenue of the Giants with
a lunch stop in Garberville and visit in the Hemp Shop.
There is a good motel in Eureka that I've stayed at during these Lost
Coast visits. The Thunderbird (or Best Western now). If you get enough
people to reserve rooms, they open up the "courtesy" room or something
like that which is a great place to congregate when not out riding. Old
Eureka is within walking distance and there are now two nice brew pubs.
If it were up to me Matt, I'd vote for your backyard!
