Crescent City to Fort Bragg
Today was an interesting day – it was chilly and damp enough that I had to stop and put on my jacket – there were very low clouds and lots of fog along the route (as you’ll see in today’s pictures). I followed the 101 from Crescent City to Leggett. There was a huge festival at Garberville which had what appeared to be thousands of people camped out on the banks of the Eel River. At Leggett I turned onto the 1 to Fort Bragg. This road is posted at 55, but has long stretches (the longest being 22 miles) of continuous twists and curves, where they don’t bother posting caution signs for turns faster than 25 MPH. Some of the turns are posted at 10 MPH. Lots of fun.
Coming out of the redwoods on 1, we’re back in view of the Pacific Ocean. Here’s some pictures from this part of today’s trip:
