Day 25 - San Francisco, California to Garberville, California

Just before leaving San Francisco, the guys headed to the Golden Gate Bridge. Having crossed it several times already in fog, they were hopeful the bridge could be seen clearly. Fred, Ron, Mike and Stu in front of the famous bridge.
The bridge just slightly visible above the fog bank.

Adios, San Francisco! The boys headed north east across the mountains towards wine country.
Sonoma Valley was the first wine region they entered.

Wine, in it's simplest form, up close and personal.

The valleys are beautiful, covered in grapes and wineries.

Beautifully manicured grape arbors are visible everywhere throughout Sonoma, Napa and Alexander Valleys.

The wineries are spectacularly landscaped. Behind the lavish entrances, winery buildings are either extremely elaborate or elegantly modest.

After touring the wine country the guys headed west again towards the Pacific Coast. Here Mike stands, with the coast in the background.

More beautiful Pacific Coastal scenery. The guys have reported that the photos simply do not do this magnificent part of the country justice.

The boys headed slightly east again in order to catch sight of the California Redwood Forests. Freddie drives his bike through the privately owned Chandelier Tree.

The guys zig zagged their way east and west, while going north along the Pacific Coast. They traveled about 280 miles total today, stopping for the night in Garberville, California. Tomorrow will be their last day in California. They are making their way to Oregon.
