We have decided to get up a little earlier today a quick coffee and a bun for breakfast, then its of to the Humboult National Park at 7.30 a stunning drive down the avenues of giants, the giants are of couse the redwood trees. We wind in and out of the trees, the sun shining through 22 miles of some of the worlds biggest trees.
A self-guided tour round the trail shows us some really tall, wide trees may be the biggest in the world. Out of the park we join US 1 the Coastal highway. This road take us down the coast, up hill, down valleys, round bends, great views, Fort Brag a light lunch was had by all, we carry on this beautiful road made for Minis till we arrive at Santa Rosa, at the Days Inn, wash the Minis at the wash next to the motel a good find. Dinner at Applebee’s, then its blog time.

A fabulous day for a drive which included the famous highway 1 from Leggatt CA until Bodega where we cut over to get to Santa Rosa for the night. We had a very spirited drive, with most people pulling over for four racing Minis..eyes open in disbelief as we fly bay. Richard lost a hubcap as he did the run through the twisting corners. We did also get through another drive through tree…you just can’t drive by! Believe it or not my arms are tired from turning the wheels so much as we drove down the coast highway..off to San Fran tomorrow to pick up Shawn by the golden gate bridge and then off to Atascadero..Mike

Excellent! I love that part of HWY 1. I've never driven through there in a Mini though. I would like to take my boys up there to see all those giants.
