    35 years ago when I was 35, I took a 1 month vacation from N E Ohio to Southern California-just n of the Golden Gate to Lassin area and back zig zagging all the way. Thanks for taking me further north. Missed n California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. All the other 48 were on motorcycle at Motel 6's and KOA's. Pulling of the roadway is so much easier on 2 wheels. 👍👍

      I too used to bike-pac long before they called it adventure biking. Sleeping bag, tent, backpack bungie'ed to the tank and seat. You beat me though. I only did the western states. I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. You see the world different from the back of a two-wheeler. You're in it. Not looking at it,.... if that made sense. Cheers.

    Whem I came back from 'NAM in 1970 I was 21 years old and I spent several years hitchhiking around northern Cali and southern Oregon. Great places and great times and great people. From Fort Bragg, Mendocino area to the Redwoods . . . Medford, Grants Pass to Mount Shasta and Redding it seemed like paradise. Can't believe how built up it was around Clearlake area. Glad I could enjoy it before it became what it is now.

    Unless you turned off of 20 onto 53, you didn't go through Clear Lake, you instead went through Clear Lake Oaks.

      The town is Clearlake (one word) - the lake is Clear Lake (two words). Correct about the turn off on HWY 53 going to town o Clearlake. Nice trip on HWY 16 & HWY 20.
