Lunch in Mendocino, but the road keeps curving

Wednesday, July 9 - We thought that we would have some easier roads to drive once we hit the coast, but we were wrong. However, we kept motoring through, because we heard that one of the towns coming up, Mendocino, was a great resort community , so we decided to have lunch there. We decompressed a bit, took some Advil, and breathed in the fresh ocean air to rejuvenate for the last few hours of driving.

But the road just kept on curving after that. Take a look at this picture. You can see see the road winding up and down the mountains and around the gulches. That line on the hillside across the valley is also the same road. The scenery was awesome, but after 4+ hours of averaging 35 mph we needed some straight roads. So, we hopped on a road to take us across Sonoma County to get on the freeway into San Francisco.
