Guys,
A trip up the coast sounds good to me. Gualala, Fort Brag area is great. If you want an overnight think about heading up farther to the Garberville area, staying at the old Benbow Inn on 101, good food on the patio and rooms for about $110. Above Garberville, taking Hwy 1 to Rockport cutting over to Hwy 101 we can do the Redwoods, Standish Hicky, Richardson Grove up to Humbolt Redwoods. Beautiful tall redwood forest, picknicks and the river. There is a very good Mexican resturant in the sticks near Phillipsville.
Later this spring or summer we can join up in So. Lake Tahoe, stay at my place in South Lake and take in a show or whatever. Boss Hoggs does good BBQ and there are plenty of other places to eat etc. Stanley, the casinos are only 7 miles away.
That is my contribution for now. What do yo think?
Bob
