A few more repairs completed

[Jack & Donna Smith]

Jerry; Hwy 101 is great, If you get to Willits, they have a nice KOA, with a
stop for "The Skunk". but for scenery, Hwy 1 has it beat, but some parts might
be a bit tight for a Bird. Bodega Bay is a must see, with a good State Park,
Fortuna is a pretty place visit the Cheese Shop, and Crescent City is well worth
seeing..
We love the Northern California coast.
