First of three days in San Francisco. No real plans for today, probably wander around Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. Maybe walk over to Fort Mason and the Marina district. If I feel real energetic, I might even walk to Fort Point, which is at the base of the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge (a four mile walk, each way).

Fun place to visit in Fort Bragg, CA

Sorry that I’m posting this a day late…

Today I continue down CA-1 from Fort Bragg, CA to San Francisco. Plan is to have lunch in Bodega Bay and then stay on CA-1 until it joins US-101 just north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

San Francisco will be my first “Destination” city – I’ll be spending four nights at the the Hotel Zephyr, right on Fisherman’s Wharf. I’ve been to SF many times, but always enjoy returning.

Today I continue down US-101 through the California redwoods, including Humboldt Redwoods State Park. However, when I reach Leggett, CA, I’ll leave US-101 and continue south on California highway 1 (also known as the Pacific Coast Highway). Though large parts of CA-1 are closed south of Monterey, CA (Big Sur area), It’s wide open from Leggett to San Francisco (where both US-101 and CA-1 cross the Golden Gate Bridge).

Tonight I’ll stay on the coast, in Fort Bragg, CA, on to San Francisco on Saturday.
