When we hit Eureka, we had to make a stop at Mike's Hamburgers.  As always, the chili cheese burger was without compare.  And, the garlic fries and vanilla shake were exactly as they should be.

We left Eureka and headed down 101 to the Avenue of the Giants which is the old Highway-101.  Narrow and twisty, it is hard to believe, but I remember clearly when this was the highway and full size 18-wheelers flying through this at highway speeds barely missing the trees and each other as they passed.  We stopped in at Williams Grove which brought back many happy memories for me of family picnics and summer days swimming in the river.

The Best Western in Garberville had only three rooms left when we arrived.  Only one was non-smoking and it is a large suite. Expensive, but fabulous.
