DHale_510 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 We used to make trips to Eureka, Samoa, and McKinleyville with the UFO club every year. We usually took hiway 36, camped above Fortuna, ate at the Samoa cookhouse, and took in a local autocross on Sunday morning. We also took hiways 1 and 101. We did this for about 10 years. The big Shasta event sort of ended these trips. We owned a house in McKinleyville in the late 80's while the kids went to college at Arcata, so it was pretty familiar turf for us. You had as many in your caravan as we ever did. Dennis 3 Quote Link to comment

ArchetypeDatsun Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Was an awesome time too bad I didn't have a Datsun to drive out there. Hope to do something like it again. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was lucky enough to have joined in your last "Silly Millie" run up 36, ate at the Omelette Chalet, then raced with the RSCC at the airport. You were in the Miata R.  I "reran" a Hwy 36 run 2 years ago, unfortunately it was right in the middle of fire season, thick smoke blocked many great views. I had 3 other cars join. I proposed an eastern CA run around Lassen, no takers lol 2 Quote Link to comment
