here is a slightly tweeked trinity pass rout. we can avoid hwy 12 but i dont see any way of getting from calastoga to healdsburg with out dealing with a major corridor like 128 or markwest to 101.
eather way this is 90 miles and 3 hours let me know what you think

That routes fine. But if you were trying to stay away from single lane roads
Peteluma Hill and Sonoma Mountain are two of my favorites but they are one lane and last time i was on Sonoma Mountain (2 months ago) it was closed do to road damage. Someone should go up and see if it's open yet.

Oh, and be prepared for the group to get broken up ALOT do to stop lights and signs mixed with cross traffic.

dont know about petaluma hill being single lane but yes sonoma mntn is one lane. and probably right that it should be avoided. Ill go up in a little bit to see if its still closed any way.
may be better to take crane canyon to bennet valley instead of sonoma mountain.
there are a few places where we could get split up but im sure we can manage after the few stop lights and signs. eather way it will work out.

Here's my suggestion (it's a long drive though)

From Healdsburg
to Dry Creek Rd.
to Skaggs Spring
to Annapolis
to Hwy 1
up to Gualala
onto Old Stage rd
to Ten Mile rd
down Eureka Hill rd
back on Hwy 1 north
onto Mountain View rd
into Boonville
route 128 south back to Cloverdale
then well eat at the Burger Shack

I picked that roue because the roads are GREAT and for the most part all TWO LANEs with limited traffic

whatcha think?

Im down.

Noel happy to hear you're still around. Sorry it's been so long since the days of me having a drive every month or two
I still have your "bullhorn" somewhere.

Hope to see you on the drive.
