To Etna

Wednesday:
We have successfully arrived in Etna, a V.Sm town tucked into Northern California. A 'straight forward' drive from Lewiston, apart from the 4000 foot climb over Scott Mountain! We drove 60 miles up the road before reaching this wild mountain pass, which mentioned at the base of it that it was not accessible for vehicles with trailers! Choice 6 miles of mountain pass, or 120 miles of backtracking and rerouting? No choice really - onward and upward
Thanks for the advice.
Photo's cannot describe these mountain roads

But I will say it was one of the hairier rides over the mountains

  1. My thoughts exactly - well Roy's really, always onwards and upwards and his classic "It will be fine". If you think that was hairy don't hang around with Roy!
