Day 2 - Mendocino
Mendocino has the city-as-art-gallery concept down pat. Ferndale (up the road) and La Conner (in Washington) don't got nothing on this place. ... Doesn't mean I'm into it, though.
I skipped a few of the redwood sights along the way down, since I got plenty of trees up in the national park. Like so:

I did go to the Drive-Thru Tree in Leggett, however. How could I resist?
It's not really all that small of a hole. The car ahead of me was a Lincoln! It's just a big tree. Note the gift shop beyond. . . I went in, but bought nothing.
Highway 1 so far is a blast to drive. Plenty of curves and twists to make any non-driver a bit queasy.

That pic with the rhodies is bee-yoo-tiful!
But..."city as art gallery"? Huh?
Good photos! I remember the first time I was in the Redwoods . . . totally awe inspiring. Those babies are OLD!!!!!!!
Dad's pretty sure it is.
Mendocino is a city-as-art-gallery because half the shops are art galleries or similar. The other half the shops are cafes...
Thanks, Kilroy! That HHGG page is my most-looked-at page, thanks to Google (when they don't delete it from their archives).
