Another foggy morning. Still traveling on Rte 101 fairly close to the coast. In the morning we traveled through another Redwood forest in Humboldt State Park.
After going through the Avenue of the Giants ( a much commercialized section --a real tourist trap, spoiled by signs, power lines, and road signs.) we switched onto Rte 1, which goes closer to the coast. The road from 101 to 1 was really hairy, and stressful as we wound up and down the coastal mountains. There must have been a hundred tight slow (supposed to be) corners. and Dave had a tough time staying with me. I said to Jan (during one of my more civil moments) "this would make a sidewinder sick".
At Anchor Bay, we actually saw the sun for a while in the afternoon.
At one point along the shore we had stopped to admire the rocky shoreline and we saw a small bunch of goats grazing. I tried to call them by imitating their call, but they didn't pay any attention. Then the "old billy goat" traveling with me tried. His call was so irritating they popped their heads right up to see what was that terrible noise. So we got some good pictures then.
As the day wore down we started to see many more large cattle ranches again with barns that seemed to go on forever.
