Well I don't HAVE to ask for permission, but its good to see what the wife thinks (it shows you are concerned about her feelings also) plus I have a child too, so Family comes first before Fun.

From 101 to Honeydew, then over towards Shelter Cove...maybe a detour to the beach for a photo op/break, then back to Redway or Garberville would be better.

Yep, I had a crazy old man run me off the road and almost kick my A** because I stopped really quickly on the drive to take a picture of his cow. And I'm 5'3 and a chick...
I thought the road was fun though, not too rough in terms of maintenance, though this was last April so I imagine these latest rains couldn't have helped.

Family is ALWAYS number 1, or it should be...

He was probably worried about more than his cow...

Stock suspension is a lot nicer on those roads. I feel sorry for anyone with wheels lol. Like I said, the other route is much nicer.

Nope. The only time I venture that far south is when I'm headed back to the Bay.
