Yet another beautiful floral arrangement
A classic 930
This flatbed semi was literally hugging the corners going really fast!
After going through one of the WORST and most bumpiest roads (Orr Springs Road) in memory, we reconvened yet again
We were rewarded with some exceptionally smooth roads all the way up to Benbow, CA including another stint on Hwy 1 through the twisties. Shortly after stopping I discovered that the screw holding my tailight in place disappeared. I removed the tailight and kept going up to Benbow Inn just outside of Garberville, CA. You guys owe it to yourself to go here one of these days. This hotel was beautifully designed. Almost akin to being swept away to an Inn somewhere in the Swiss alps.

My car sans one tailight
Dining room
One of the funny sights I saw on the way home
Finally making it back to Washington after a long stint through Oregon nonstop
And for those of you that were wondering about whether I really drove home without a tailight. No, I didn't want to risk it so when I stopped for gas in Crescent City, CA I managed to find a temporary metric screw to hold the tailight into place for the trip home. I just picked her up earlier today after all repairs and checkups were made and she's resting in my garage now. I hope to upload some videos soon. If you really wanted to see the rest of the pictures then the album is here:

Jason thank you for sharing, your posts are great and I remember your europe trip a year ago when you go to visit the nurburgring and the nice castles along those area's. I really like the pictures and the detail that has been took in this thread, the Mendocino area looks spectacular with all of the flowers and so is the last hotel you got to visit.
I particularly enjoyed the pictures along the oceans and the redforest area and same thing applies to the nice swimming pools.
