The Mini did great on the scenic mountain drive today. We left south central Oregon and headed southwest for highway 101 on the California coastline. As per our normal traveling, we chose the scenic route and what a display we saw! Mountain roads with 10 mph switchback curves through Pondersoa Pine stands, tiny mountain hamlets and breathtaking Redwood state forests. What an amazing day! The Mini loved the zigzagging, down shifting, braking, accelerating and the drive even kept Roy awake while I drove! The Mini was made for this road! We stopped for a photo op near Mt. Shasta, CA. If you squint, you can make out Roy's V-sign sticking out the roof of the Mini. Lots of snow still on Mt. Shasta. The weather today went from 90+ degrees to somewhere in the 60's the closer we got to the coast line. We enjoyed a few pints at the local brew pub down the road from the hotel we're staying at in Fortuna, CA. Looking forward to more of the Redwoods tomorrow!
