That’s why. Portions of CA-1 from the Russian River northward are wild crazy. South of that, not so much and only for some short-ish stretches. > > I’ve seen people driving motor homes there. Now THAT’S CRAZY! :eek: We lived around the crook of the Russian River for many years. River and Westside roads are great for pedaling. We drove our car south along the coast because it’s crowded, and took various 25-foot RVs north for quite a ways because it’s easy. Don’t be in a hurry, is all. But watch for poison oak, ground wasps, and rattlesnakes. Keith Richards visited a local commune. Off in the brush to drain his lizard i.e piss, a rattler struck! Right in the vein! Emergency medical help was called, but no use - within a half hour, that snake was DEAD! Be careful around North Coast grocery dumpsters. Sasquatches can be bothersome. ---

You’ll need one of those movie cars that turn into a submarine. ---

Bigfoots (feets?), dumpsters, submarine cars. Jeez! I’ve been in the same place way too many years. ---

Change of plans: I’m going to be located just off the I-215 freeway in Riverside County, California. I’m in the waiting room of the Loma Linda University Medical Center–Murietta. You are still most welcome to use the house in AZ! ~VOW ---

You remind me of an RPG I used to play as a kid on my C64, the the requirement for being a Bard was that you had to be a Warrior first. ---
