So we’d hemmed and hawed, but just hadn’t made the drive….until now. Plus with my “pukeage” issue (= car sickness) the only way we could survive was if I drove “the beast” both ways. No, thank you. Hwy 128 and Hwy 20 are do-able, but you’ve still got to steel yourself for lots of curves some of which may or may not have shoulders. Hwy 1 is a gorgeous road, but it’s a total no-no for big-rigs (in both directions IMHO), at least not unless you want to be swinging your rig blind into oncoming traffic lanes around curves that are barely large enough to keep your wheels on the road. It’s just south of the Lost Coast, one of the most remote and beautiful stretches of Coast in the State and there’s only three ways to get here, from the south (or north) via Hwy 1 or from the interior (101) via Hwy 128 or Hwy 20. Map from Google.įort Bragg lies slap in the middle of one of the most inaccessible pieces of the Northern California Coast. Only really 2 ways to get to Fort Bragg for “beast” size rigs -> Hwy 128 or Hwy 20.

Alas, the road to paradise is not always paved with flowers. One of the reasons we hadn’t come this way before was the twisty, crazy road to get out here.
