A Western Roll PT4











After a day of riding the pacific coast north of Bodega Bay we decided to change the scenery up a bit and  check out the giant redwoods in the Armstrong Woods State Park.  From the base of the forest floor and the cool shade of the 3000 year old towering beasts there was a one lane super sketchy road that took you straight up the side of a mountain to a vista that overlooked the entire park.  The view was expansive to say the least (the first pic in this post) and like most of the places up here could not be properly captured on film (at least by me).  Soon we were once again aching for the coastal road so we decided to head south towards San Francisco.  More unbelievable views as we headed south.  It seemed like around every turn there was another epic view.  Much like the coast to the north only with more color right up to the edge of the ocean - like a nuclear bomb full of TNT and bright paint was dropped on the entire region exploding large chunks of our country, breaking them off and rolling them right out into the beach break to cool off in the technicolor wash of the pacific.  We could have stumbled around here for a lifetime...

oh yeah. NorCal is filled with good roads and good scenery. We are spoiled here, even if we don't appreciate it like we should.
