day off from camp today.  took the petaluma-marshall road from walker creek 
ranch to marshall.  headed north up hwy 1.  great road!  i am amazed at the 
number and frequency of geography changes along that road.  lots of great 
twisties.  beautiful views.  ran into a small detour section not far from 
fort ross.  the detour took us up a twisty 18 percent grade then back down.  
awesome!!  was really glad the highway had been washed out and forced the 
detour.  never would have found that road on my own.

continued north to the hwy 128 junction then headed inland through a 
redwood grove... double awesome!! great road!! continued through anderson 
valley (stopped to taste a bit of wine) then kept on 128 through to 101.  
the last bit of 128 was great.  twisty mountain road.  long sequences of 
beautifully banked left and rights.  tango got a great work out.  so much 
so that she didn't even complain about riding the 101 back to petaluma.

all in all a wonderful drive.  thanks to dans for recommending the trip up 
hwy 1.

heading to san francisco on friday morning after the camp.  will be joined 
by my wife.  hope to run into some listers on the weekend if you're in 
town.  i'll be at the westin st. francis on friday and saturday night.  
give us a ring at the hotel or on the cell at (604) 671-2027.
