Day 1 along Lamath mountains and HWY 101

My first day was just insane! Drove 200 mile along the Kalamath River that was a four hour roller coaster ride with a view. What fun! After reaching California 101 or Redwood Hwy, AJ and I had a blast with about 30,000 bikers (no Honda's in the group). I was driving down the Avenue of the Giants, when I came across a biker bar / gas station right out of the movie "Wild Hogs". Well we couldn't pass this up (and no, we didn't blow it up) so we pulled in for some gas. We were instantly surrounded by a crowd of leather clad Atom admirers. We even got invited to join in on the 30th annual "Run of the Redwoods". I drove to the event entrance an it was a scene reminiscent of Woodstock. Thousands of tents, motorcycles, bikers and a little too much extra curricular activity for AJ and I. So we decided to keep on heading south before AJ got me into more trouble than I can handle. My first day will end up in Ukiah, CA and we will rest for the night before heading to San Francisco and Yosemite tomorrow. For all you Atom lovers, there is nothing like it on mountin roads. There's also nothing like it when it comes to setting bikers on their heels saying, "Cool... I got to get one of those!"
