CA 299 from Redding to Arcata (I saw two state troopers between Shasta

You got that close to me and you didn't stop by and say hello? Shame on
you.
I had two good excuses. First, we arrived in the area around 8pm and my
son wanted to go through Redwood National Forest before sundown and we
had to be in Seattle by 6:00pm the next day. Second, I knew that you
lived in northern CA but I couldn't remember which town. All I could
think of was "Knowlesville" and I knew that was wrong. It wasn't until
we stopped in a restaurant in Crescent City around 10pm* when I saw
something that said "Ferndale." If we weren't under a schedule I would
have loved to have contacted you and, at the very least, see your studio.
That and you missed out on riding HWY 36. Way more fun than 299, and you
wouldn't have seen any law enforcement.
299 was fun enough in Dodge Grand Caravan. We were being dogged by two
kids in an older Toyota Land Cruiser. The could not keep up with us on
the up hills but they were on my tail on the down hills. As they finally
passed us outside Arcata they gave me a "thumbs up."
* Yeah, I know. Two hours to get from Arcata to Crescent City? We got
side tracked in Redwood. If it weren't for the GPS we would have been
there for hours. As it was, the only restaurant in Klamath was closed
when we got there.
