Winding Roads, Winding Stories

My mother is here visiting for about three weeks.  Today I decided to take her for a drive along the 30 mile road to Petrolia.  I've been down this road many times, especially since I have been doing medical support for the Tour of the Unknown Coast century bike race.  And, I first wrote about it when we initially moved here almost 4 years ago now.

Now with the new Jeep, it was time to take the road again...

And it was so worth it, if just for the views...

Looking North toward Cape Medocino

the Westernmost point in the lower 48

Mattole River meeting the Pacific Ocean at

Mattole Beach

This Jeep will go anywhere...!

We then continued along the road to Honeydew which eventually

ends up at Rockefeller Redwood State Park...

Aren't these trees amazing...?

It's one of my favorite drives.

Here's the view looking up through

the sunroof... 

All in all an amazing way to enjoy

a nice drive,

and spend some quality time

with my mom...
