If you cut across on 20, you avoid Boil-over Hill south of Willits and hit 5 at Williams. 5 is probably faster and easier, but boring as hell. We will probably run up 101 up the coast and go East on 42, I think its 42, it goes into Salem. I am getting a flinch reaction just thinking about 199. Caltrans can make 101 a nightmare in summer.

Your reminder about 199 is going to give me nightmares. Last time we drove 199 from Crescent City to Grants Pass, a huge mobile home was being moved in the opposite direction. We squeezed past each other on a blind curve in a very narrow section of the road. The good news it wasn't a logging truck with overheated brakes hauling a load downhill on a single-lane logging road.

Thank you

Shawn and slowp.......We needed the BUMPS...:rock:....( you too northman ) Sometime soon we are going to need the "sticky". Now that we are commited to the GTG I am starting to work on some saws that had been left here with the ever popular; "no hurry" or "when you get around to it" NOOSE! Seems like a long time since I've been out in the barn and I'd forgotten where half the crap is and the other half is crap! Looks about the same as the last times GTG and maybe even worse! At least I could remember where and what last time. I hope some of those piles go out the door this year........Looking Forward to it........Bob:msp_thumbsup:

accepted, kinda put two and two together. hope ya got enough room in the ranger. ;) long bed or short.

6' bed. Going to bring a minimum of saws, tools, and the like along with camping gear. Trying to locate a cheap shell to put on the Ranger before then. That'll help with security/peace of mind, as I'll most likely stay in a cheap motel or campground overnight somewhere around the 1/2 way point.................unless I do the crazy 12+ hour burn straight through. Done that before, and am not wanting to do that again. Keeps things dry if it decides to rain too. A trailer like yours is on the wish list, but won't be a happening this year.
