Continuing South to Duncans Mills, California

As the huge storm moves through California, the news is full of reports of mudslides and flooding.  I checked US Route 101 and California State Route 116 on the CALTRANS Highway Conditions Webpage.  There are no reports of weather-related traffic problems on these roads.






The skies are clear, let's drive.











Eric & I return to US 101 South.












That's thick fog...








The fog clears and the skies are bright.






We pass cattle grazing.




Eric slows down.

Fallen debris is being
cleared from the road.





This section of US 101
is in the Tsunami




in Eureka was built in 1920.

It houses the Akley Center for
Performing Arts.





This picture could have been
taken in Kentucky.





I take a turn behind
the wheel.










Eric's signature shot of his
feet on the dashboard...






I navigate this section of
US 101 lined with Redwoods.










This turn takes us to Old







Eric and I swap seats and he continues driving.






We are in Wine Country.








Eastside Road is lined with fields of Grape Vines.  






There are miles & miles of
Grape Vines.







We turn onto Wohler Road.






Eric drives through water
running across the road.







This is unnerving...  We have to continue on our route.  We're not driving back across that section of road.  




Fields of Grape Vines are
 underwater.

I'm sure the owners are on
the phone with their
insurance companies.





Eric turns onto River Road.






We pass Korbel Champagne
Cellars.







Eric and I loved our Winery Tour and Champagne Tasting in 2014.






We pass a small mudslide.




Electricity is out in Guerneville.

The traffic lights are out & 
drivers are yielding to others.





We drive by Monte Rio







Eric turns onto California
State Route 116...





... & arrive in Duncans Mills.




Eric & I are staying at
Club while we wait out
the next part of the 
storm.









There's soup for dinner.
