Klamath to Red Bluff
No pictures of this. Mostly because I do not have a decent lens for getting shots of the giant redwoods. There were a lot of the giant tree along the highway, and taking the scenic route was worth it. There were many pullouts and short walks to take, of which I only did one. I turned inland off the 101 onto Hwy 36. The tourist info guy I talked to had said tourists in cars and vans do not like Hwy 36, but bikers do, and I quickly knew why. Twisty and windy, followed by windier and twistier. It was a great ride, and one I would like to repeat without the trailer. There were next to no services along the road, and at the start there were a fair number of homes, they thinned out and then stopped when I entered Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Very nice, very dry. In 3 hours of riding, through mountainous terrain I passed 0 lakes and went back and forth over a few very dry creek beds. The heat increased the farther I got from the coast, and by the time I got to Red Bluff, it was well over 80F, with the day peaking around 88F.
