Fred3 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi folks, Winter has broken into spring. The sun is shining. There is a major mudslide that has closed US 101 between Garberville and Phillipsville (look at a map). This would afford an opportunity to take a very beautiful detour. There is a series of county roads (paved and have lots of curves - ok for a toyhome) that pass throught the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, to Honeydew, Ettersburn, Briceland, Redway and Garberville. Just south of Garberville is a 10 rated RV park at Benbow. Benbow has a golf course, and an Inn that has Jazz on the patio on Friday and Saturday eves. This takes a couple of hours at 25-30 mph. Buy gas before you get there. Or... if you are in Honeydew, go for Petrolia and on to Ferndale for some AMAZING scenery and coastal views. Near Ferndale (Victorian town) (good pizza place) is Fortuna (ho-hum) which also has a fine RV park, fuel, RV supplies, grocery stores and not much else. It's a beautiful drive if you're in the area, between April 1st and Dec 1st when there is little or no rain. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
