0.8 / 27,839 / 11:50

Up Highway 70 which has two outstanding properties:
It goes on forever, and it gets more beautiful as you go From Oroville to Quincy is about 75 miles..

Stopped at a "Shady Rest Area"

the river beaches we used to picnic in Humboldt County

Nice chap on a BMW bike sat with me and chatted over food

and then headed back down the road toward home

Gassed up and then headed back down the road toward home.
