Day 2 - Petaluma to Timber Cove

5/20/13 - Wine Country to the Sea

We left Petaluma and headed for the coast via Occidental to Jenner. Diane left first and was waiting at the first traffic light when 2 cars hit head on right in front of her. I was still loading the car back at the hotel, so I only saw the aftermath. A bit of a chilling start…
 
Lots of hill climbs that day just to be rewarded with a 20 mph head wind once we got to the Pacific. I had not quite caught up with Diane when I saw the Timber Cove Hotel and Restaurant…right on the cliffs of the Pacific. Once I sweet talked the receptionist for a good rate, I caught up to Diane and we turned around. We met two guys on their annual motorcycle trek at the bar during dinner. They gave great suggestions on cool roads to travel. Relaxed in the jacuzzi tub…Ahhh!

  • Back on the coast. The mouth of the Russian River
  • Ah, the Pacific. I remember being 20 miles out heading south.
  • Jenner by the Sea
  • This is for Sarah and JSan. We just had to take this road for them!
  • Boheeem (sp?) Hwy
  • You can see the whitecaps. It probably would be more fun on a motorcycle
  • The flowers are in full bloom along the coast
  • We saw a large cycle tour group heading south…with the wind. they didnt look like they were working as hard as we were
