How about before the realignment of the highway near Whiskeytown lake? It used to have some pretty good switchbacks there.
How risky is it to run a full length truck on 101 south from Eureka to Bay Area?

What got a lot of guys in trouble on Buckhorn was hauling S4S lumber and not gut wrapping it. All those turns, not enough straps, and rough handling would cause a load to move.
A truck and trailer or doubles was usually okay but a semi could be flexing in two different directions at once on some of those turns.
LOL...I wish I had all the lumber I've seen scattered up and down through there.
It's much easier now but the challenge is gone.InTooDeep Thanks this. -

The haul lasted all summer and I was glad to see the end of it.magoo68 Thanks this. -

I never made it to the Diggins but I sure heard some stories about the place.
Hayfork was always good to haul lumber out of. Not much going on there anymore since SPI closed the mill. If you're not retired, a FS employee, or a pot grower it's pretty tough to make a living there. -
Some sportbike buds and I ran that area a few years back. 96 to 299 then 36 to the coast...
What a workout.
Fun when the locals try and succeed to keep up in cars. -

I've lived within a mile of 101 for over 40 years. There are many routes in this state where length restrictions make absolutely no sense, and others where it makes perfect sense. Don't be a moron and tempt fate.
SmallPackage and LameMule Thank this. -
Oh another beautiful construction zone!
