I second what Nathaniel said. When the summit is 'breached' on the
Ferndale-Petrolia road the view is just breathtaking. I've never experienced
such a high view so close to the Pacific ocean coast. In my mind it was more
exhilarating than the first view on the Hunter-Liggett to Hwy 1 road south
of Big Sur.

... Anyway, the little-know secret in Northern California is to take the
turnoff
from hwy 101 to Ferndale, which is  a pretty Victorian town. Look for the
turn-off to Petrolia. ... Nathaniel
