    Hey Richard, GC, Mary, et al... We're hopping on the "band" wagon too... My partner Brent & I are planning a trip to San Fran, hopefully for summer 2011. We're from Peterborough, Ontario, and have never had a chance to go further south than Vancouver. I'm so glad to find this thread and grateful for all the good advice. My partner is a prof/Dead scholar and we'll be looking at the city from an historic GDead lens. Is there still a GD productions office or has it all moved to Rhino? Richard - j'espère que toi et Marjelaine passent de très bonnes vacances! Un peu de reportage ici après ton voyage sera beaucoup apprécié. Merci!

    Willits is my particular" vortex of darkspirit ".I would hesitate to single out Humboldt County(in spite of it's reputation),I lived there in Fortuna and attended 'The College of the Redwoods'.It's a long road from Cabrillo to Crescent City,along that road you will encounter redneck hairbillies,green meanies,happy heads and snoopy feds,the full spectrum of college students and summer tourists....Yet above it all and in the matted roots of the groves the spirit of the Redwoods supercedes all,the Turtle abides....

    Holy moly cosmicbadger,if you can connect that story with "Going to San Francisco"don't keep us in suspense.I thumbed through the redwoods on 101 many times.There are some scary ol' "redbillies" in them thar hills.... P.S. I'll look around the forums to see if there is a more appropriate topic to share our "times we were scared s**tless and thought we had seen our last show "stories....

    Its a great drive for sure..one of the best anywhere..have done it a few times; it makes your arms tired but it's worth it. But the one time I hitch-hiked it I ended up trapped in the back of a car by two crazies with a gun and a bottle of Southern Comfort debating whether they were going to kill me or not. Maybe I'll tell the full story some time..needless to say I escaped.

    Wow, jackstraw, that sounds like a really cool ride, Drive thru the redwoods on the way to a furthur show. Man, that would be great. If ya go that way, can you get some pics? I haven't been thru there since the 60's, and I was just a kid then. Hey, is that one redwood you could drive thru still there? I seem to remember that they had to cut that one down. Anyway, have lotta fun.

a week from today. A bud and I are going to do the SF 1/2 maraton - his 1st, my 3rd. Of course, I'll be making a stop or two at Amoeba and marauding the streets of North Beach and the Missions. I love the two hour time-zone thing - I'm from St. Louis - and the feeeel of the pristine skies and cooool temps. Oh, lawdy! The coolest thing is my family and I (and daughter's boyfriends - more than one daughter) were very recently in Hilton Head, S.C. Two different universes in a month!!!So if you see a bald Italian and a tan Irishman, be sure to say hola, y'all!

I grew up in Ohio, lived in Colorado for 15 years, and now live in Adelaide, South Australia. In 3 weeks my wife, three step kids(15,14,10), mother/ father-in-law and I will be in San Francisco starting a nine week holiday taking us all over the U.S. San Fran is my favorite city in the states. This will be the first trip for my family. We just have 4 days there, but have much planned. After that we head to Vegas, Denver, South Carolina, Atlanta, Orlando, back north to D.C., New York, Niagra Falls, Ohio, Tennesse, then back to S.C. to fly back here to Adelaide. A trip of a lfetime for the kids and hopefully they will see the real America rather than the hollywood version. See ya soon.
