Marianne was talking about nearly 30 degree inclines... didn't sound 
very flat to me!

===================================================

After looking at their  Journal.....WHOA!!  the ladies are Ballsy!  gggg  The 
inclines aren't the killer...it's the switchbacks!

The way they went is a killer road....took a friend 4 days in a  long 
vehicle....I've only done THAT stretch on a Motorcycle [ XT350 Yamaha]....

"Normally"  tourists  go thru Humboldt State park to Petrolia and up to 
Capetown and over to Ferndale....done it in my Supra.....just a few miles of 
dirt....

Sad that it burnt them out for the Oregon Coast....they missed the best!  
Honest....

Saw some of the VW's yesterday on my way back south........on Hideous 
I-5....Boring!! ggg  Picked up a hitchhiker in Canyonville..just for 
conversation.....She had a sign saying she doesn't wear #$%$  ggg   A panhandler going to the 
NorCal Coast...said she's researching for her book.....to be titled 
"A$$hole"!!     how many times have I heard that story......ggggg
