Forks of Salmon

Enjoyed a nice motorcycle ride in the hills. Logging trucks come flying down the small one lane road, so you must be prepared to pull off the road quickly or get knocked off the road. Sometimes the greatest treasures in life are just there on the side of the road.

Nice picture Looks like a place I could spend some time just relaxing

Nice pic, but FWIW riding a motorcycle on an active mountain logging road is just nuts!

From experience, I can tell you that a drivers worst nightmare is to come around
a corner on a loaded, downhill run and find someone on a bicycle in the middle
of the road. Can't stop, so only choice is to run you over..

There’s only narrow one lane paved roads into this rural area. All must use the same road. I’ve had my share of close passes along these roads, sometimes towing my camp trailer. Have to stay alert and be willing to put her in reverse. Beautiful country.

Northern CA is one of the most beautiful places in the lower 48. Now, if you could only sever the area south of Sacramento, you'd have a very nice state! ╦╦C

It's true Dizz, but if you want to get to the town you have to take that road. Good thing is, I can hear the trucks way before they get to me, so you just pull over and wait for them to pass.

There are still trees in CA?
And they actually let people cut them??
Nice picture!

I lived in the Sacramento area in the late 80s. Use to head up to Ft Bragg and camp up that way. I wonder how the traffic on highway 1 is these days compared to what I thought was crazy back then?.

The last time I drove through Crescent City (2018), elk were grazing along the hwy, oblivious to the traffic. NICE! ╦╦C

The real Northern California truly is a beautiful place TerrC. I live just a few miles north of Crescent City here on the north coast.

Yes EO8, there are vast forests of trees in NorCal and we do cut some. Not like in years past, but some.

You are lucky to have the resources that you have.
From what I understand, north and south CA are like two different states?
I know which half I would like.

Sounds like the deer and elk in Rocky Mountain National Park. I can't ever recall seeing any elk in northern California. Another place me and my girlfriend now wife would go camping was Lassen Park. I was fascinated with the geology of that place.

 

[greenman38]

There are elk all over the area I live in northern ca. a lot of times I have to wait for them to move out of the road.

That looks so cool wish I was there on a motorcycle playing some seliger tunes roll me away

He's right about dangerous truck traffic in the area, a friend of mine on a motorcycle got run off a steep incline in that area by a logging truck and was killed. They didn't find him for a week. Another friend now runs fishing trips for hire on the Salmon. He told me they grow a lot of weed in there too. Gorgeous part of our vast country!!
