Oh, he's got video. I'm looking forward to some of it. If you want to see the video of this road, driven the other way, I have that available. Make sure to turn down your sound, or get Initial D blasted into your brain:
I didn't speed up the video. Shot in real time, only removed wind noise and added cheesy music track.
No braking. No crossing double solid yellow line.

Man, it looks like we're going a LOT faster than we were, right??
Cool - can't wait to see the Hopland video of you on the way down the hill.

The URL contained a malformed video ID
You know what we're going to have to do now don't you?
Let me know when you're up for it.
Waiting for the dirt video - especially the drift around the tractor.

Hmm. Believe it or not, we were doing a reasonable speed ~limit most of the time. Hwy. 175 IS a 55MPH road, and as long as you're under that, and NOT crossing the double yellow, there's not much they can get you for on that road.

O good point! I actually went out to Fort Bragg today and it was a great drive on 20 between willits and fort bragg. We should have a drive sometime and take another road there and then take 20 back since its a lot better from fort bragg to willits. Also, we could have lunch at the brewery and drink a nice beer and maybe get a photo shoot with the ocean.

Nah, you wouldn't want to do that.

I'd probably start a bit earlier in the morning from the same place, do that route, then take you into Upper Lake via Hwy 20 east, drop off the radar at Scotts Valley Rd., pop back up on Hwy 29 in Lakeport. Then we can drive west out from Lakeport to Hopland - afternoon drive over that ROCKS!!
Maybe you and I will do that, since there's only one person south of Petaluma that would be willing to drive that far in a single day.
BTW, I won't drink even a single beer on my drives. I don't need anyone else driving with me drinking either.
this should work.

You mean like take Hwy 128 west, drop into Mendocino, drive up the coast, have lunch there, then back into Willits via 20?
Nah, you wouldn't want to do that.

That would be a nice drive we should try to get as many people as possible. All we would need to do is find a good place for lunch!
