We just recently did a 4 day ride up through the lost coast. Started from Inverness at MJJ's getaway house!! We had lots of dense fog through Mt. Tamalpais and almost all the way to Fort Bragg!

Pt. Reyes for Dinner!!

Then on to Mattole beach for more camping. Had to backtrack from Usal to highway 1 due to trees down.

We then went to the east side of 101 and worked back to Fort Bragg on Sherwood/Fort Bragg road (all dirt)! no photos of that, just video.

It was a lot of fun! Got good video of mama and the babies. That deep sand at Usal was a real challenge! went out a ways and got stuck just turning around! Had some nice campers lift me up to get my momentum up again!
 
Really enjoyed the video Mike! :thumbup

Beautiful places!

So made me long for not being at work!! :laughing
 
Awesome beach camping! How cool to see the Otters passing through.

I've always wondered about camping at Mattole, was it windy or is it protected?

Mattole was very protected. We didn't seem to have much wind at all. The water is over the little hills you see in the background so you aren't really on the beach like at Usal. We were a little sad that Usal was closed past Usal beach. Hopefully they have it opened by the time you all go through!!

Thanks Budman!! It is a little disappointing to have some pixelation on the YouTube vids especially since the originals were so clear. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to upload to YouTube.
